I get a chuckle out of the way American marketers "invent" names. Everybody knows about the old chevy model, "no va" in spanish translates to "doesn't go".
"vendió" in spanish translates to "he sold"

Surprised to log on and find out we have new owners now. I hadn't heard of the upcoming change.
On the choosing of names...Yes, and not just marketers.
In California there is a city, built over a landfill, that was named Milpitas...which we were told in Italian means "stinky feet". Perfect
