I am not so sure if it is "romaji" names or simply non-Japanese names that can seem exotic for some Japanese. That being said, if you go to a mall, like Hep5 in Osaka, most of the store names are written in Romaji.
I don't think you are totally off base, but a Japanese native might give a better answer.
