    People were less sensitive about such names back before Nazism came back from its supposed extinction. The record shop in the book/movie High Fidelity was named Vinyl Solution, and I’m pretty sure there wasn’t any subplot about the owner either having Nazi sympathies (because what remotely sane person would stan a bunch of vanquished miniskirts?) or having made a terrible mistake (because nobody would make the, in retrospect quite obvious, leap, as everyone knows Nazis are extinct).

    A thoughtful and reasonable explanation, I hope the new name serves the project well ☺️
