That's largely adaptations of light novels. There's just SO so many light novels do that to stand out. Sometimes the name sound so weird that it sound fake, and so I google it, and it turns out to be real. For example, "My Girlfriend is a Faithful Virgin Bitch"

I learn not to judge anime by the title because sometimes it is misleading.
