Why not just translate the word "etch"? It's very difficult to pick
a name that /doesn't/ mean something bad in at least one language
around the world, so perhaps it's better if folks simply put the
name in its correct context: that of a Toy Story character.
Considering the fact that we had no problems with a release codenamed
"woody", I think some incidental indecency is not something to worry
about.
