The equivalent would be an architect naming their new building project 'the world trade center'. A lot of people just aren't going to touch it because of the image it evokes. LTCM nearly broke the world's financial system and I don't think that's an exaggeration. Naming a firm LTSE is a good way to make sure a lot of people won't want to work with you.
