  Or the Toyota MR2 being renamed in France because MR2 sounds like 'merdeux'[0] [0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_MR2#Origins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_MR2#Origins

    When I was at school it allegedly was 'merde' in France, i.e. s41t. In England our French isn't so good as it usually gets taught too late, in teenage years when different bits of the brain have to be used to learn the language. So I am glad to have that finally corrected, have believed the wrong thing for decades.

  ...Also the Tesla model 3. This was going to be the model E, but, as per the article, Ford already had 'E'. Elon Musk wanted 'E' so the model lineup would be 'S-E-X' but had to settle for '3'.
