And then there are the companies whose choose a name too quickly only to find that it means something entirely different, or even objectionable, and then have to spend heaps of money in correcting the mistake.

A good example of this is back in about 1981 when Commodore came out with the VIC-20 computer. They found out they had a problem with this name in the German market. They had to relabel it as VC-20.

If you have a German friend, ask him why?
