      There’s a reason behind the weird brand names. The seller has to have a trademark on their brand name in order to participate in several Amazon programs, such as their predictive analytics. The easiest way to guarantee your trademark application succeeds is by ensuring it can’t possibly conflict with any existing trademark, and the easiest way of doing that is by generating a random string that’s (somewhat) pronounceable.
