I really hope they don't change the name, I like the name "Mullvad" (Mole in Swedish) and "Leta" (Search in Swedish) and everything doesn't need to be Anglo centric in the appeal :)

Although the society is almost zero privacy, it have historically had some funny IT figures for privacy and digital issues so people searching up for the background of the name might stumble upon it.

I'm guessing they won't change the name. It's a similar branding strategy as ikea, with "funny" nordic (specifically swedish, but other brands have done it with norweigan and danish too) names that for some people makes it sound quaint and quality.
