I must be weird, but I like the name. It's a palindrome and I dig their symmetrical logo.
And of course, it is clever marketing. Even here we are talking about it.

Most countries are somewhat familiar with english slang, such as the word dildo.

It's not slang, it's just a word. And the Dutch for dildo is ... dildo (I would have expected shared roots in French or some such, but apparently it's a loanword from English since the 70s).

Haha yes that means fucked (as in "you're fucked"). I speak Spanish and I didn't actually think of that.
