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.

Von Gaylord is the last name of their designer. They changed their name from Legend Audio to Von Gaylord because of another company using close to the same name.
I always thought the name "Wadia" sounded odd, but in my opinion, they make some of the nicest looking products on the market. Sandra

How about "Aural Ersatz?"

Don't you love it? Speakers with this brand name just showed up today (2/3) in the Audiogon classifieds.

Especially when it sounds like BMW.
I much prefer Bowers and Wilkins.

legend audio's awareness was stalled when they made the name change, and they have never quite found new momentum. von gaylord creeps people out.
