+1 to leave it alone.

And guys, please try to think of the names in English like a person that 
doesn't speak English natively. I am sure many of you will realize how 
stupid and funny they sound. Every day I encounter new and new examples 
of this. I don't understand how you English speaking people perceive 
these names, but what the hell is "Adobe Photoshop"?! A shop for 
photographic stuff made of adobe?! Down the corner?! Stupid, yes? And 
funny.

So leave it alone. Somebody who feels his/her ego hurt by a software 
name should think that in some other language the same name maybe sounds 
totally different, should we inspect each end every language to find a 
neutral name? And should we let our ego be influenced by such things - no.
