i was asked to translate a brand name (mosquito coil) into english.
Its Chinese name in pinyin or wade-giles goes something like "Lee Shar"(force/power+kill/destroy). And i now have 2 alternatives: LeeShark and Lethal. Which one of these, to an english ear, sounds more appropriate and effective for mosquito-repellents? Or u have other suggestions? Thx.
