Can also mean annoying. As a general recommnedation, before naming a project or company something, always search whether it means something bad in the top 10 most spoken languages.

There's a Hyundai car whose name literally means "pussy" in Portuguese and Galician x) It's marketed as something else in those territories.

Honda was originally planning to name a model "fitta" before they discovered what it meant for Swedes/Norwegians (same meaning as in your example)
