Hmm, the simple risk of your perfectly sensible domain name being
interpreted very differently in other languages.  [NOTE: text not mine.  DL]

  At least they should then have created a brilliant logo.....

    If you were a company called Powergen and you had a subsidiary that
    operated in Italy, what would you call that company's Web site?.

  Probably not http://www.powergenitalia.com

  But they really did.  ...
