These days we see hotels, eateries, or possibly even clubs, etc, bearing names that includes the word "devil"
Devil's this or Devil's that or even Happy Devil, and so on and so forth.
Is it in order for a Catholic to go such places?

Many people do not think twice about such things and yet such is the insidious ways of the devil.

People don't take the meaning of the word seriously. They have a positive connotation in their head to it, or what they think is a positive one. It isn't.

But if you truly think about Hell and devils, then, there's nothing likable to be considered at all.

And using the names in these ways desensitizes people to the reaction we really should have!

Exactly, spiritual warfare.
Some parents even call their naughty one, devil child, imagine!

What about children who have to go to public schools that have the devil as their motto? i.e. the "Blue Devils"
