IKEA Names

The range of shelving in my living room is Docent, which I have just found out means Senior Lecturer. Do Swedes browsing through the IKEA catalogue look at Docent and think "hmm, this shelving will make me look like an intellectual, I must have it!" Is your IKEA furniture called something more boring or stupid than mine? Here's a translator so you can find out: http://lexikon.nada.kth.se/cgi-bin/swe-eng

My guess is that the shelving in sweden is calles "SENIOR LECTURER" and swiss people think "Hmmm, sounds a bit rude..."
