A lot of these are puns/vague money sounding names in different languages.
Wero has got to be the worst of the bunch, though. An awkward combination of "we" and "euro" combined with "vero". At least the other pooq/wolo/snivum/rumio like names aren't trying to hard.
Apparently it's the same as the Dutch payment system but in some languages that "iDEAL" had wrong associations.
As terrible as these are, at least they aren't just random short English words.
And at least its not just a random letter in the English language too! (looking at you X)
I hate random English words as company names. The other day I saw a company called Runway and it seemed interesting. Turns out there's quite a few companies called Runway or with a product called Runway, in the same industry.
Same with Bolt.
And I hate that Meta is now the company name so I can't look for meta stuff without also getting results about the company formerly known as Facebook.
