The names in SEED are more stupid, but I got an answer from an artbook: it's phonetics.

They prefer to be called "spacenoids." Use that as a cultural baseline.
>>13611164
How horrifying.
>>13609946

>>13608225

The names are supposed to be otherworldly sounding and alien.

Rick from Reconstructed (as in remodeled for space use, like Rick Dom), and a reference to Bartolomeu Dias.
Fuck you buddy Big Zam's a great name.

There's all sorts of weird Zeek names, and when a normal one like "Magella Attack" comes up it stands out as an abnormality.
Some of them are related to other languages, like how the 'Zee' in 'Zee Zulu' can mean 'sea'; fitting for an amphibious MS. And then there's Braw Bro, Zakrello etc which just sound weird.

Makes no sense whatsoever, still. Coulda been Frank Mendez just as well.
