Guild nicks
Because the nick (I assume you are talking about the tag) is 4 letters maximum, and there is a limited number of versions.
Why does it even matter though?
Your guild is still your guild. And the fact that as many as 4 guilds have the same tag, might suggest that it was not so unique as you would think, and it is very possible that it was already used by other guilds before you used it as well.
