Question for you branding people. How do you research names? Made up or not. For instance, I don't know if it is true (could just be a stupid rumor or a joke being plyed on me), but I heard buick is slang for masturbation in another country other than america.

'Wanking' is slang for masturbation, it's also a lot of fun.

here's an other example of bad research:
there was a candy bar called Big Joe. Translated to french it's Gros Joe. In Québec, its an expression for big tits.
