What's the problem with it exactly? That it sounds like something funny in English? Panta in Greek almost sounds exactly the same (and in modern greek I think it sounds even more like "panda"), but it means something else of course. It's just a consonant, vowel, double-consonant, vowel. Basically the core of a word just like all Indo-European words, with a case ending or something like that on it.

His... name... is Panda. Panda. I don't care if you can historically prove that name existed. That's... it's... it... PANDA!

If you could historically prove that the names "Naughtius Maximus" and "Biggus Dickus" existed, and that they meant something completely different than what they sound like, it wouldn't make them any worse.
