You laugh, but consider the Chinese car brand Chery. Three guesses why they made up that name, and the first two don't count.
See also: "Haier" Chinese appliances, which suck out loud. Even their name is a cheap knockoff of the second half of Liebherr, a legitimate company with a history of making worthy appliances. But MBAs gonna MBA, and Liebherr were shortsighted enough to
get in bed with Qingdao Refrigerator Company in the 1980s. Once Qingdao slucked down all of Liebherr's expertise, they went on a worldwide buying spree—Fisher & Paykel Appliances in New Zealand, GE Appliances in America, etc—and it's growing difficult
not to buy garbage from Haier or HiSense or other
fine Chinese companies.
