Reminds of a danish TV channel that started years ago named Zulu. Everyone thought it was a pretty lame name, but their profile was so different and fresh from the other TV channels that it seems like a very natural name today. And one of the shows they started airing was named "klovn" which means clown. Just a little anecdote. Funny name!
