The correct way to the Names is to be on the Right Path. Allah may give to someone who is not on the Right Path but to those on the Right Path He gives. If you say these Names and do not receive, it may be that this is not a good thing for you; something not always understood.
While one is repeating a Name there should be no speaking and no interruptions. If thoughts intrude while you are repeating the Name, then remain seated with closed eyes. Make your humility perfect. Imagine that you are dead and the mourners have departed, leaving yo alone to face the Judgment. Concentrate all your senses, expel all preoccupations and wayward impulses of the heart and direct your perception toward Allah. Now, continue to repeat the Name.
However, to be interfered with by Shaitan (the Devil) in thoughts may mean that Shaitan found something good in that person in the way of Allah. Faith and righteousness are aspects that Shaitan wishes to prevent in one.
Shaitan is not able to interfere with a person who has reached a certain level with Allah. A beginner in the Way of Allah is more open to the attacks of Shaitan, but he should continue to obey Allah's orders so that he may be free from these attacks and may reach the station of Wali (Friend), or Arif (knows Allah) which is beyond the reach of Shaitan.
