But then if you are not dealing with Japanese-speakers as you stated, why do would you care? You said it's just a name.
Thanks for the response. The people that said it was ok are supposedly fluent Japanese speakers but not actually Japanese. Also, many websites back up the fact that the name means "integrity".

I will not be targetting Japanese speakers but I cannot be in a situation where I want to do business with a company and the decision maker is Japanese. It would be embarrassing to be in that situation.

It is just a name but the translation from "integrity" is the reason that I chose it so either I just keep the name and forget mentioning the meaning or I have to change it. However if you Google "Sessou", the first entry is EUdict | sessou | Japanese-English dictionary so it's obvious where I got the name from...
