In Spain, the trademark 'danone' is associated to yogurt. We usually use the word danone but the word yogurt

I wonder if that's related to the Dannon yogurt brand we have in the United States.

Yes, they're the same. I didn't know they changed the name in the US. Does the word Danone sound in English such badly that they changed it to Dannon?

I guess that would be a matter of opinion. They may have thought that it's not immediately clear how to pronounce Danone ("dan OWN"? "dah NUN"?) and decided to go with something more phonetic in English. It's perfectly clear, this way, that it's meant to rhyme with cannon. To my ears, it connotes strength and vitality; that is some tough yogurt! Contrast that with their primary competitor, Yoplait, which sounds foofy and pretty and French. :-P
