I always wonder, when things are named like that (or have suggestive logos, or whatever), is there NO ONE who looked at the name and said, "This might not be the best choice because of other connotations"? Or maybe that person exists but got overruled.
SAME. (More likely, someone noticed but decided it was funny and should stay.)
Our town's name begins with a "W."
For one brief and shining moment while my kids were in middle school or high school, the track and field team wore warm-up jackets bearing the initials "WTF."
Only one of my three kids did track. Sadly, I must report he did not do it during that brief and shining moment, because I wanted one of those jackets in the worst way. Instead, I'm left to warm myself with the memory of driving past the cross-country team as they ran around the lake in their WTF jackets.

Mine's an 'O' and we get emails from the school that are called "O-Blasts"
Now I want a WTF jacket!
And who decided that email newsletters could be called "e-blasts" in the first place? I'm mortified anytime someone from church says it.
But also Oblasts are municipalities in Russia.
We all live in Russia now, -t.
And there's the town of Beaver, Pennsylvania ... the college in that town changed its name, I believe, due to the jokes. There were also the Pennsylvania towns of Blue Ball, Virginville and so on ....
I have laryngitis, and everyone keeps trying to talk to me from the other room.

I went to summer camp in Pennsylvania as a kid and you'd better believe we thought it was HILARIOUS that you had to drive past Blue Balls to get to Intercourse. (Have I ever looked at a map to confirm this is actually true geographically? Nope! Not important!)
I had, somehow, forgotten about Intercourse. Make of that what you will.
I remember driving by Blue Balls to get to Intercourse (on the way to Hershey)
