Occasionally I see a metal fence with a little sign on it saying that it was produced by Gawron & Co.; whenever I see that sign, I think of Klingon ghawran (Gowron).

And whenever I see the name of Doha, the capital of Qatar, I have to think of Do'Ha' (“unfortunately” or “to be unfortunate or unlucky”).

Does anyone else have interesting other-language associations with words they come across?

Well, there's the obvious for English and French: the "Chia Pets" brand. :-)
