And exactly in that lies the problem. What are amusing puns? What might sound amusing to you, might sound offensive to others. Even worse, a name which doesn't include any cursing words can be 10 times more offensive to someone because the underlying pun might be harsh.
Unless you make very clear boundaries and be consequent upholding them (and for the love of God, get someone in the crew with an understanding of some foreign languages or consult someone while in doubt).
Rather then this "ohh word X might sound offensive in one of the over 150 different languages spoken on this planet, let's close it regardless the context it was used in" crap :-)
