      There’s a reason behind the weird brand names. The seller has to have a trademark on the 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.
