eccie/ecchi - Freudian Slip!

I just experienced the best typo ever. I intended to type 'eccie' and instead typed 'ecchi'. Google redirected me to the following wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecchi.

"Ecchi (エッチ?), also romanized as etchi, is an often used slang term in the Japanese language for erotic fantasy and sexual innuendoes. As an adjective it is used with the meaning of "dirty", "naughty", "frivolous"; as a verb (ecchi suru), with the meaning to do something dirty, naughty, frivolous or to sleep together; or as a noun, to describe someone that is seen as ecchi. It's a synonym for ero (from Eros) and does not have such a harsh meaning as hentai."

Anyhow, thought that was interesting. I wonder if anyone has drawn that correlation or if Becky was playing around with words when she was shopping for a name for the site.

Wow! That's pretty awesome!

I Thought the similarity was by design.

Perhaps I've been pronouncing the site wrong?
