You know, I thought you were joking about all the muslim names, and I thought it was funny enough to read aloud to my wife. But I did a Google search for "Premium Tap Allam", and a Japanese website came up. It was all in Japanese, but I could see "Premium Tap (Allam)".

I presume Discreet Cat and Bernardini also have muslim names?
