What do you think of using foreign words in a business name?

[Kolaphos]

For simplicity, let's assume the foreign word:

• has some usage in English or is a word most people have seen before
• easy to spell/remember
• is a part of the business name which makes sense as a whole

The issues I'm thinking may arise:

• people spelling the foreign word wrong after having only heard the name
• pronouncing the foreign word wrong after seeing the name

Here are some examples:

suite, coup, cache, roux, chez, bureau, couture, noir
​

Is something I should even be worrying about?
