Worst Name for A Piece of Equipment

There is a CD player with a good reputation that goes by the name fog. I don't think any audiophile would want a CD player to sound foggy. What other names do you know which are a contradiction in terms or are simply unpleasant sounding.

I think that "Eichmann Bullets" was a most unfortunate name for a product, given the Holocaust...

Another good candidate is Manley Shrimp. What is manly about (it) being a shrimp?

With no inference as to the sound, I find these names to be amusing:

Rethm gives me the impression that they 'nearly' provide rhythm.

Virtual Dynamics isn't bad until you use the acronym.

Audio Note...is that all I get, only one note?

Valve Amplification Company...powered by what, Electron Mover power cords? On the other hand, the shortened "VAC" is rather virile.

Coincident(ly), they just might sound good to you.

Pipedreams. To own them, or to get them to sound like I want?
