"Slave families" were rare because there were too few female slaves. avoided naming children for family members because children so often were sold, and it was better not to build strong kinship ties. were headed by women more frequently than were white families. were more common in the West Indies, where living conditions favor their formation and survival.

Children were sold

Explanation:

Slave families were rare because most of the families were sold to other owners. In these days the slaves were not considered as persons but were actual property. When an owner saw an opportunity he would breed slaves and sell the children for profit.

While it is indeed true that non of them were given real names this was not the true reason. Later on, it would be harder to reunite for this reason and there have been claims that some of the parents killed these children before they could be sold off.
