I'm sorry, but "coon" was definitely a pejorative term during *my*
childhood. I'm not a part of the affected group, but it is certainly
one of the strongly associated meanings that attach to it in my mind.
Use a word meaning the same animal from a different language. Or spell
out the name in full. Or name it after someone's pet raccoon. Or just
change it. There's no downside to changing it, and there is a downside
to keeping it. I don't know how strong a downside, but it's better to
avoid any.
