Actually, she is remembered more than for a badly translated slang in French.

You can find what her name means on this page...

She is mostly not that popular because she is a relatively difficult Vocaloid to balance and in V3 there were so many new Vocaloids that some won and some lost. She didn't technically loose nor did she win, she got stuck in the middle. We're also on generation 5 of the Vocaloid engine and she is generation 3, so there is going to be some issues caused by her age and newer Vocaloids coming along in V4 and V5. Generally, a Vocaloid is judged on their first sales year with only Kaito being the exception thus far.

The winners of V3 were IA and Yukari, while VY1 picked up er popularity during this era due to how many ways you could obtain the vocal.

She hosted a Vocaloid documentary and I believe was the first fan made character to become a Vocaloid after Ring and Lui became abandoned projects. She is more remembered for her documentary overall then you'd think. The problem is your thinking from a western fan prospective, which is a mistake a lot of people make. ITs like... IF you asked someone to judge how popular the Voiceroids are among the western fandom, you'll find there isn't much interested, but in Japan at one stage Yukari was used more for her voiceroid then her Vocaloid. The langugae barrier means we often have little idea on whats going on in the Japanese fandom overall.

Baring in mind that currently overseas is the largest growth for some studios then in Japan, such as Ah software, while in Japan... Since 2014 Vocaloids been hit by the loss of popularity of vocal synth tech since 2014, with rival software CeVIO taking a piece of the pie too and scoffing away at the slice it has taken. Cul being a Japanese Vocaloid is in a market thats currently stagnating a bit. Vocaloids in a better position then UTAU, UTAU took a 60+% decrease of video uploads in 2014, the most of any of the vocal synths. The good news is Chinese Vocaloids have gotten on par with Japanese Vocaloids... the bad news is that there isn't not many buying the software.

Welcome to Vocaloids reality right now.
