Thinking a bit more about on my own reactions to "Cordova"...

If the name ellicits a relationship with the city in Spain, the "v" jumps
at me, but
if it is a relationship with the street in Vancouver, then it's OK.

A cute logo could create the Vancouver/Street association.  Logos don't
show in press releases, but they are very visible in web pages.
