A second data point from another German native speaker: I knew the
word "racket" could be used for sports equipment or for something like
"a lot of unpleasant noise". I thought neither was fit to name a
programming language, so I consulted both an English only dictionary
and an English to German dicitionary and found additional definitions
amounting to "criminal activity / fraud / rip-off". After that I
thought the name wasn't only unfit but probably the worst choice ever
to label a programming language :-/

Ciao,
