From our FAQ:

> The name has no special meaning but we read it like "Euro-key" in English. Names are hard, and we're aware it can remind people of Uruk and Uruk-hai. That's OK.

I completely understand your point, though. It's not "Google"!

"Google", for french speaking people, looks like "Gogol" which means "stupid" or "retarded".
