It really stands out, it's a teeny bit rude (but in context, <i>completely</i> harmless). Sticks in the mind. Like Wii. I'd use it. And I'd be more willing to visit a website of a company called "Bloody Creature" than "Impressive Games Ltd". Do it. Bloody Creature is an awesome name for a company.

It will be very expensive later on to change your company name, and you will lose whatever name or brand recognition you have achieved up to that point. I would seriously recommend selecting a less controversial company name that you can continue to build on, no matter what direction you decide to take your company in the future.
