In Spain there was a time when it was Hasechof and Microchof.

I remember when there was a webpage named "mocosoft" and microslop sued (and won) because the name sounded too similar in Spain.
After that, I went with mocosoft for a good while. Sad there weren't social media back then. It could have become a very viral thing.
