What are your thoughts on domain names that don't fit with the site?

Do you mean using domain names that are not relevant to the ideas of the website?

Yes, that is something I have been seeing a lot of lately.

It does seem strange  to have a title that does not reflect the content. Maybe some were domain names that were taken over by some one else and are just being used for convenience?

I do believe that is the case, people buy the site or domain name and reuse for something else.

Yes quite strange.  I do not think that the cost of a Domain is very much money.
However if someone is just starting off and every dollar counts I  can understand them doing this.

This depends on just how far detached the domain name is from the content on the site or on the brand. When I look to register domain names, I always make an attempt to match it, plus run it past copyright and trademark searches.
