Come on man. Are you really going to call your product Poup and say "b-but it's french for Doll". It's not a political thing it's just the way the word rings in current English is bad. Jokes have been being made about "rapier wit" etc. for 50 years.

No offense intended to you at all, but "the way the word rings in current English" seems super subjective. Personally, the notion of "rape" never even occurred to me when I heard this name.

Incidentally, unlike "rapier", words like "raptor" and "rapture" are directly related to the word "rape". These words can be clearly traced back to ancient Greek (meaning something like 'to seize violently'), and perhaps beyond.

Just my $0.02. :-)
