You made me curious, and it seems that the words original (English) meaning was a "rest house for travelers" (From the French "hospice," which is from the Latin word "hospes, that also brings us the English "hospitality.) It is interesting how the meaning of words, especially English ones, can morph so.

But, yeah, anyway I would suggest changing the name. My first thought was of death, and it was really only a morbid fascination that caused me to click on the link.
