What about the word bite (la bite) in french? Are we supposed to remove the word bit from the English language because it sounds similar to the french word for penis?
There is always going to be strange overlaps when it comes to different languages.
Coq is a bad name.
It's those that inherited the culture of the puritans they've sent away that make a fuss about it (or some words on tv or make a huge deal about a SuperBowl nip slip).
There are many similar stories about English words sounding like profanity when (badly) pronounced in Chinese.
They're bad for branding and brands avoid them.
Now, I like "Coq" and the story about the cheeky French people trying to one up anglophones, but that's not really enough to make it a good name.
Then again I recall some people calling a compiler "Stalin" so, could be worse.
