Heimdall would be a lot easier to pronounce internationally indeed.
I wonder how easy "Bennekom" would be for non-Dutchies though ;)
Current list:
* Securitas
* Soteria +2
* Olin +1
* Placoderm
* Heimdall +2
* OmegaSupreme
* Omega-S
* Skyfeather
* JAAS-EE
* Amsterdam
* Copenhagen
* Jyväskylä
* Jiangshan
* Bennekom
* Blois
