Real creativity is to find a way to relate the risque term to cycling in the form of a play on words or a pun. Just throwing "hummer" on a bike is unimaginative and crude. Why not call the bike "Butt" or "Boobs?" Same level of creativity.
Take Ibis, as an example. Old Ibis bikes had a cable hanger that was forged to look like a tiny human hand. They called this thing a "handjob" because it actually looked like a HAND and did a JOB. That's far more creative than what this Cove company did.
I feel the name Fetish is a bit worse than the cove ones.
