Does anyone know the etiology of Objective-C method declarations?

- (return_type)instanceMethod2WithParameter:(param1_type)param1_varName param2_callName:(param2_type)param2_varName;

Am I the only one who finds this extremely unnatural?  In particular, the type appearing in parentheses is strange to me.

This is hard for me to remember, and it hurts my brain.
