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.

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.
