Pier

This is also a Dutch word meaning worm and it reminds me of the expression "zo dood als een pier" = "as dead as a worm". Not good.

Made me think of the English word pier meaning "a structure built on posts extending from land out over water, used as a landing place for ships, an entertainment area, a strolling place, etc.; jetty." This wasn't a negative thought, but it was my first thought while looking at this name.
