The name "AIDE", I presume you mean?

An automatic translation tool just gives me back the word "aide", which is apparently a valid word in both German and English.

Don't keep us in suspense. What's wrong with "AIDE" in Germany?

'afick' is about as much a word in German as 'fsck' is in English.
Definitely not in the dictionary. So I don't see it being a problem.
