Maybe a little more thinking should have gone into the naming of this company?

In similar vein, there's a new music shop about to open in Cambridge, in the premises of the now defunct Blockbuster.
It's called PMT Music.
I can only guess that if you ask why it's called thus, you'd get the answer through gritted teeth of "it just IS, ok?"

One from the past that was not made public.
Qantas decided to call their new Boeing 747s - SUDs - Stretched Upper Deck.
All the publicity material was produced ready for the off.
At a late stage but just in time they were informed that SUD in medical terms stood for Sudden Unexplained Death!
The 747s were renamed Longreach.

Birdseye had a new fish product in the seventies that had to be hurriedly withdrawn from the shelves after it was pointed out that it was unlikely to be a best seller with the name "Birdseye Juicy Cod Pieces".

Blimey, just had a look on their website, didn't realise they'd got so big.
Remember them starting up across the road from my workplace in Southend as ProMuTec back in the early 90's, don't know what they're like now but my son used to swear by them when he was playing a few years back; always seemed to get a good deal there.

An individual rather than an organisation but Guardian on Friday reported a case where an Employment Judge had recused herself from a part heard case.
Her name was Merry Cocks - I thought twice before Googling that at work to find more detail!!

I remember something of a hoohah when working for computer training and software company in the eighties.
They were about to launch a government funded basic IT course aimed at women. A secretary asked what the course was to be called to get the promotional material printed up.
The response she got was that the course was computer literacy, it should say something about Information Technology and that it was for women and to work it out for herself.
On the minus side, we had to pulp the print run. On the plus side we all got a good laugh out of it.
