What about zip rivet, as opposed to pop rivet?
It would describe its function so if you show it next everyone will understand what it is.
Also you'd see the advantages compared to traditional rivets; no special tool needed, can tie surfaces that aren't close together.

For other languages you could just use their word for rivet, if "rivet" offends them.

Naming issues...
Suzuki Alto: "Stop!" in Portuguese
Fiat Croma (leading brand of baking fat)
the Smart car ("Anguish" in Dutch)
Toyota MR2 pronounces like "emmerdeux" in French, suspicially similar to "merde": $h!t...

Google is your friend. If you see your aspiring brand name is predominantly used in shady webforums to describe local politicians in your target market, you know you would need a rethink.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
