You suck at naming things....

There is a building I drive by every day.... the name of the company is "S.T.D. Contractors".  Ummmmm yeah.

There is also a spa in West Bloomfield called "L'Aryola"

 

Have any to add?

  • It's not dirty but it's the worst name ever.  In fact, they built right around the time we moved in and I said I would never eat there just because the name is so stupid. However, we caved during Lent because we wanted fish and chips and didn't know where else to get them.  We only got carryout.  I promise.

    The name? Tim & Sally's Awesome Eats.  The kicker?  The owners names aren't even Tim and Sally.  Oh and everything, EVERYTHING on the menu is either "Tim XYZ" or "Sally ABC."  As in, Tim Tuna or Sally Salad.

    We make fun of that place every time we drive by.  Haven't ate there yet though.

  • There's one company that the name isn't too bad (Big Ass Fans), but I think their marketing department is run by high school boys.  In one of my trade magazines they had a full page ad and the top half was a of a squirrel and it said "squirrels will hump your leg".  The bottom half had a bird and it said "birds will not poop on your head".  And that was all the ad said

    Fuchs lubricant always makes me giggle like a 12 year old. What are people thinking when they name these things? 

  • A couple years ago at work we received paperwork from *** & Cox Attorneys at law.

    This really isnt a name persay but yesterday I was stopped at a red light and next to me was a party store with a sign that said "Beer is cheaper the gas, so drink instead of drive".

    eta because TN sensored me... but that would be D!ck and Cox

  • When I worked at Buddy's Pizza, the burger was called a Buddy Burger. Since then, they've changed the name. The owner, Robert, loves himself, so it's now called the "Robby Burger". The horrible part - the servers have to ask if the customer wants "Robby Sauce". Eww! LOL

  • I go on this photography forum sometimes and this one chick on there went through and redid all of her packaging and picked a new name...HJ Photography.  Really?

    I mentioned the name to DH without telling him any of the back story and he just laughed.  I was soooooooooo tempted to tell the chick to rethink the name, but whatever.  I mean really, was I the only one with the dirty mind?  Nobody said anything.  It cracked me up lol.
