Hi C,
According to the name of your OTUs, it looks like you've run the open reference workflow. In the open reference workflow, once all the OTUs have been found, the next step is to assign taxonomy, hence all the OTUs in your table have gone through the process of assigning taxonomy (according to your email, using the uclust taxonomy assigner). Hence, the name of the OTU doesn't make a difference on how taxonomy has been assigned to your sequence.
Next, the "Unassigned" assignment for OTUs means that the taxonomy assignment could not find any match on the reference database. If you're interested on seeing what these are, I recommend to grab the representative sequence of those OTUs and blast them. Then you can decide what to do with those OTUs.
Cheers,
