AGA, a large outfit from UK with North American subsidiaries Northland, Marvel, Heartland as well as the French brand La Cornue has changed its name to: "AGA Marvel". 
We prefered NAGLHAM......but no one asked.

Unfortunately. I'm sure they had to seriously consider the fact that AGA had become British colloquial for that type of "cooker" just as certain nationalities referred to a refrigerator as a "Frigidaire" ... so the added a better known name outside the UK ...

Personally, I always thought that "AGA" sounded like one was gagging, similar to the "phlegm" sound our Jewish brethren make with some words ...
