Yikes! (... says the owner of Badger SoftWerks).

Keep in mind that trade names (businesses and products) tend to work
much better (are better remembered, and better cut through marketplace
clutter) when they are somehow distinctive. And internal caps within
hybrid/coined names can be helpful in that regard.
