I would believe those are actual brand names.

Has anyone created software or a web site to generate hilarious Amazon brand names automatically?

Edit: Looks like there are lots of AI-fueled Amazon/business name generators. Most of the names weren't as funny as your examples, though I got some good ones (electrofakes.com, etc.) from prompts like "low quality tech products" and "cheap knockoff technology products."

Another site gave me the more Amazon-appropriate LAMOFY, HOROLY, YORBAX, etc. (all with .com domains and premade logos.)

As the NYT noted, "Amazon is to fake products as Facebook is to fake news."



I mean, MINFARTO has legs.

But then again, I remember seeing COBY products right next to SONY products and I guess they're still around. :)


SQMY is my fav SONY 'tribute brand'


My favorites are HILETGO, KeeYees, AITRIP, "Oi ya gai", Treedix, and Gikfun.

I bought products from all these Amazon vendors last year, hilariously they're still around.


HiLetgo is legit, they've been around for quite some time and make decent ESP32 boards among other things. You can tell the FBA placeholders from Alibaba drop shippers because they're almost universally six letters and all uppercase like MOREPI; because this is enough for them to get a trademark to participate in the Amazon Brand Registry and get reduced seller fees.


YoDoIt, the iFixIt knockoff, always gets a laugh from me


Nothing can beat ASHAMED. (Yes, really.)
