Related, what’s the deal with those weird manufacturers names?

In order to sell on Amazon, you have to have a registered trademark. Nothing is easier to trademark than a random string of letters with little resemblance to real words, so you get lots of random keysmashes like ZGGCDor Dgpiod, combinations of random phonemes like nertpow or vovoly, or smushed together random words like Joyoldelf or Wishpig.

tbh nertpow is very catchy and you could absolutely sell knock off nerf products under that name
