Filon is also bad, means running away... Having a product name being different in different countries would hurt the brand too.

  "Filon" means a mine vein (and is used figuratively as a source of easy money). So the name seems pretty good.

    As far the dictionary goes, that's true. But "filons" is the imperative tense of a verb literaly meaning "let's run away". And also "Fillon" is the name of a politician who was exposed for fraud while he was running for presidency. He was sentenced last spring, his name was all over French news for a while, and it became quite infamous. edit, added more context

      Sure, but as I said "un filon" or "un bon filon" as meaning "easy money" is very common.
