It was easy when all they could see was our solar system. Now they have to deal with an ever expanding universe imaged with better sensors.
The naming department ran out of words.
It’s the same way they name Chinese brands on Amazon.
Could also be Elon naming his children
Actually as weird as those names look, they all make sense…

There are an estimated 400 billion stars in the milky way galaxy and an estimated 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. It would not be reasonable or even possible to give every star a unique alphabetical name even for all the known languages in history.
