08/20/2018, 5:14 PMYes, nearly any short word has some strange meaning in some language. Though I think it is fine since it is "Kot. Academy" (with dot after "kot") so it suggests short from Kotlin.

08/20/2018, 5:30 PMkotlin.academy is an existing empty site, pretty sure some poacher is sitting on it hoping someone will pay them a lot of money for the domain

08/20/2018, 5:32 PMWell, kotlin.academy was created on 2018-08-02 whereas kot.academy was created on 2018-08-10, but both domains were last updated on the 15th within minutes of each other
in the comments of the Medium post:
>> Kotlin Academy name kind of violated Kotlin trademark, so that was a reason we had to change it.

08/20/2018, 7:35 PMKotlin Academy was violating Kotlin trademark. About alternative names: We had maaaany ideas including kot.ac, kotademy, kacademy (what BDW also sounds close to kaka 😛 ) and many more. After many discussions and asking many people for opinions we chose Kot. Academy.
Also I bought kotlin.academy during the process 😛 Have much more domains which were our intermediate ideas. Finding a good name for a company is not an easy process. I think that my personal feelings to "Kot" name was also important here since I like this word.

And I don't really care about german translation. There are many good schools that reference to poop 😄
