A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall So What's In A Name?

I like to keep an eye out for interesting or humorous names of businesses. Some people get really creative.

My favorite, the actual name of a beauty salon in my town, a higher end place truly called "Curl Up & Dye".





Yesterday while I was reading the tourist guide for Washington, I saw the name of a Chinese restaurant:

Wok And Roll.

I nearly fell out of my dialysis chair laughing.

Ok, so maybe I am easily amused.

But what about you?

What are some of the interesting/funny names of businesses you have seen?

We have a dollar store called Looneyland..get it? Our $1 coin is a looney.

Looneyland. That's cute!

I find beauty salons have the cutest names..we have a Shear Magic and The Mane Effect in town.

We used to have a place called Tic Tac Pho. Unfortunately they were one of many victims to an arsonist we had in that area about a year ago.

what does your screen name stand for??

We have The Gay Pet Clinic here in town - it made National Lampoon once - I cant believe my Mom used to let me get that magazine

This what my screen name stands for.... The symbol for the University of Kansas is a mythical jayhawk.

Mine stands for my name wasn't smart enough to have a cute 'screen name'.

MINE stands for:
I am a girl born in June-
(naw, really my Aunt use to call me Junie & that was taken, so I added the Girl to it)

Mine is cause I am a nana to lots of grands should be Nanas15 now but was 11 when I started here... kids are very fertile...LOL
Nana

Mine is my family's name for me since I was 2 years old and said it myself. For those who wanna know, it is pronounced "Mare-me" like you would say the word for a female horse and add a "me" to the end. What can I say? My family pronounces it with an A and spells it with an E. Go figure!

*at 2, I couldn't say "mary-ellen" so I said "mare" and pointed to myself saying "me"... hence the name 51 years later*

Laundry......... "Wash Your Problem Here.

Aquatic Pet Shop........ "Fish Be With You".

When I was visited Colorado Springs years ago,, there was a Chinese restaurant there called
Food Man Chew

In my head I thought it was pronounced like 'berm'~great to know what it really is

Police Doughnuts: To Protect and Serve Doughnuts

outside the shop is a van painted blick and white with the store's logo placed where the police department's emblem/name would be.

My screen name is just the first four letters of my first and middle name. Not terribly creative but I like it. There's a little italian restaurant there called Olive You. Kind of cute. The one that has cracked me up for years is a nuts and bolts shop called Tacoma Screw.

My sister saw a sign for a laundrymat today & told me to add it to this thread!

It is the Wishy Washy!!!!

That was thoughtful of here.

Might clean up our act here

dodge

There's a manufacturer of stage curtains and theatrical drapery called Sew What.

LOL

Like that one too.

There was a show on Date Line or somewhere like that once about a church somewhere in GA (I think) called Hookers Church of Christ. The church was on Hooker Street.

Probably depends which way your hooked?
