I think probably you're too German. It's kind of a goofy name from an English point of view. And, for clarity, we don't necessarily generally think German names are particularly goofy.

Either that or I'm missing what the guy is referencing.

Thanks for your perspective.

For a moment I was wondering if it's the similarity to the Israeli currency Shekel, but that doesn't make sense to me either.

Shekel also sounds funny to us. It might be related to how it sounds kinda similar to shekel, but I think he's just noting that the goofy-sounding name is real.
