Hi, Billy..
There's that piece of "folk wisdom" about making sure company names don't mean unexpected things in other languages..
"Cocu", in French, a popular language, means "cuckold", as others have pointed out. As a French speaking person, when I read "CocuSocial", the first thing that popped into my mind was "social platform for swingers". I was a bit perplexed and went "Hmm, YC incubated a Bodily Fluids Exchange as a Service startup, that's interesting".
What are your thoughts on that? Is this deliberate to cause a certain break point of thoughts and titillate the inquisitive mind?
