I see why some people may not like names (especially in the BP world) that do not describe a trait at all. However, in my opinion it makes it more fun. Having strictly descriptive names gets (IMO) boring, and sometimes those names can get very long... just look at Leopard Geckos. Their names are so long that they have to abbreviate into code.

As far as the genetics behind it... It does appear that the less radical ones could be 'hets' that are showing markers. The parents do have an aberrant pattern (male only slightly), but I never would have guessed that they would throw babies like the extremes! Here are pics of the parents:
