Maybe not, but they knew what they were doing. Names are typically researched in various languages, market tested and whatnot. 100% they knew.

It's "キュント" so it's pronounced so different than it reads in English. The letters are cute and fancy and round, though!

They could have spelled it Kyunte, and somehow chose not to.
