Although I’m all in favor of clever names for businesses, I’m a little puzzled by the name of a construction company I saw tonight. If it’s a family name, I can sort of understand. But really, I don’t think I’d hire them.
Loosli Construction.
Do you really want something loosely constructed?
Any other odd business names that seem to be counter-productive?
BLITCH Plumbing probably isn’t quite the same but everytime I see their HUGE billboard my mind disregards the “L” and it looks like a large BITCH sign:D
My sister once saw, and coveted, a belt buckle from a company that put up steel buildings. The company’s name, boldly emblazoned on the belt buckle, in big block letters, was–US ERECTION.
In St Louis there is an electrical/lighting consulting firm named Stahl & Ponder. Wonderful name for a consulting firm, might even be more apt for the Missouri Dept of Transportation or St Louis Board of Public Service or some other government bureacracy.
In the Greater Dallas Yellow Pages, there are six dentists named Dr. Payne. I know it’s just a family name, and probably meant something else in some language or other, but I would have a hard time getting up enough nerve to go to any of them.
There’s a constuction company 'round here with the name Ero Nasi Construction, which I’m pretty sure are both family names. I’d hate to be from the Nasi family; I feel so sorry for them.
KB Builders recently changed their name to Bobo Custom Builders. I kid you not. The owner’s name is Ken Bobo, apparently. They do remodeling. He changed it because of being mistaken for a home construction company with a bad rep around here. The O’s are long, and to me, it sounds like the name of a clown or a dumb dog or something. lol.
