Not according to Bic!
"After obtaining the patent rights to a ball pen created by Hungarian inventor, Ladislao BIRO, Marcel BICH introduced his own ball pen in December 1950. Touting his product as a reliable pen at an affordable price, he called it « BIC » a shortened, easy-to-remember version of his own name. The famous BIC® CRISTAL® ballpoint pen was born!"
See? Shortened and easier to remember!

It wasn't good for marketing, I mean it targeted a very concise sector of population.

More likely it was changed to make it sound less German.
