On a serious note you could make the same argument about any vehicle. Cars, trucks, airplanes, buildings, bodies of water, you name it and someone, somewhere will be able to associate something bad with that thing. If you try to anticipate every possible negative association you will never decide on a logo or name, and will waste a lot of time and energy in the process. I think startups have better things to do.
