Same for Finnish, orkut is slang for orgasms.

Sounds pretty amateurish to start a big service without running an international name check first.

Yes it's always been a weird name for us. Definitely put me off from even looking at it back in the day.

Or or Kut?

Kut, meaning something like "fuck" or, more literally, "cunt", but in terms of offensiveness it's closer to the Australian context of "cunt" than the American context.

I don't think the name would be that much of a problem given how often the word is thrown around informally.

Well then it should be super popular.

Saying it in public is one thing. Using it in branding that you want users to associate with is another.
