真っ赤印 (マッカイン) sorta sounds like if you were to transliterate an australian accent of "McCain" into katakana.

in the news they write McCain as マケイン (makein)

So what can we come up with?

負け員 → defeated member

麻毛院 → hemp fur institute

魔華印 → devil flower mark

also マケイン (makein) sounds a little like 負け犬 (マケイヌ - makeinu) which is a vulgar term for an unmarried woman over 30 - the kanji meaning "losing dog"
