This method also works for display resolution names like WHKLWXD which is 4k but with six extra pixels on the left side.

At work I used to have a WUXGA, 1920×1200. I liked it because it just gave extra space. Typically on a desk you're cramped on vertical space, not horizontal.

Prior to that I had a 1080p with two 1600×900 monitors flanking it lol.

Isn't that just 16x10 instead of 16x9? Been awhile since I've messed with those resolutions

Lol, I never noticed that before. Yes, it is exactly 16:10. I wouldn't mind using it again for a work setting, but I think I'd like exactly 16:9 for anything gaming related.

I only know because I bought two 16x10s and was so confused my my shit looked weird.

And the monitor with extra pixels on the right side will obviously have a different name

It's obviously called WHKRWXD.

You can't start mixing those up, they're for entirely different market segments!
