Matrices! Can't imagine how I never thought of that one. But Leviathan means a large monster-type animal anyway, so I don't think that counts. It has to be something that really means something completely different.
The other one I forgot to add was Benelux (possibly Barbasol's comic-relief sidekick - Benny for short).
