Yep! I had the same feeling. Something ending in "verm" doesn't sound 
too enticing! :-)

Moreover, being Italian, it sounds worse to me. In fact "verm" is almost 
like "vermi", which means "worms" (and yes, "vermicelli" means "little 
worms", more or less; although they taste a little better usually, 
depending on the cook, of course :-P :-)

What about "luavman"? Doesn't it sound like a superhero? :-)

but with a much more cheerful attitude? :-)
