It's not a brand name, but Adcom preamps and amps are named GFP- and GFA- respectively, which are acronyms for Great F-ing Preamp and Great F-ing Amp. Really.

Personally I've always been amused with the names Vendetta Research and CTC Blowtorch, both of which I own. There are stories behind those names :-)
Here are my entries for worst names.

Digital Audio Company

They make Class D amps but often the company is abbreviated DAC so automatically I think of Digital to Analog Converter. Also they name their amps Cherry.

Dakiom

Worst name to me because of their sale posts here and rants.

Coconut Audio

Another candidate to me because of their sale posts etc. I just can't take them seriously.

Greybeard Audio

I just think of speakers for really old people when I saw info about them.

Tritium Electronics Triphazer

When I heard of this I just thought BS right off the bat. Then I read the reviews.
One of the worst (most worn out) names going right now has to be Quantum (although the Alan Maher Designs stuff I tried did actually prove to be better than it would imply).
