I dunno, All US builds temd to have a lot of stuff with the goofy names.... makes the Euro stuff sound so serious in comparison...
I guess it's just the culture here that mostly considers bicycles as toys for kids plus the relaxed attitude for most things from the west coast.... "Salsa"??, "Kooka Racha"??, "Groovy Hot Rod"??, "Racing Widget"??, "Paul"?? what was next?, "Bob"??.....The Euros must have been rolling their eyes when they heard of those brands for the first time.....
