I have some devices which pair as "E62" while others pair as "WS-1".
Still more pair as "MK02" while others pair as "Kinivo BTH220".
Some make sense such as my "OBDII" & "ResMed495698" & "JBL TUNE500BT".

But who decides what are the allowed Bluetooth pairing names for a new
device? Is there a central agency which assigns these names (sort of like
how domain names are assigned)? Is there a lookup table for Bluetooth names
(like they have with the first half of MAC addresses)?

How does this seemingly almost random Bluetooth name assignment happen?
