Yes. I find it distracting and hard to type.

Not particularly. I do the same thing all the time. Almost all my stacks 
have getPref and setPref handlers, and I've seen the same thing in some 
widely used tools (I believe GLX does it if I remember right.) My 
current project has many of these, it's a convention I've used for 
almost 30 years.

And as mentioned, I almost never use "get" with these, I "put" them, so 
the labels I've chosen read fine. I think this is a stylistic issue and 
you should do whatever you want. Many others have come before you so you 
are not alone.
