Came across this one today: "Cixi City Dafa Linker Factory" (http://www.dafalinker.com) Just rolls of the tongue! Anyone else got any examples of companies with silly/bizarre/incomprehensible names?
I know a Chinese restaurant called MY DUMP. Probably he wanted it to mean my dumplings but instead ended up calling it my dump. I hope the owner now knows what it means. Its silly he would name his shop without checking what it means in English first. I mean no one is that stupid. I first thought maybe it’s a very good idea. People would be curious about how could a place have such a stupid name and then go in to find good food and become loyal customers to that shop. However, that is not what happens, I always see people just walk through the front of the shop and click a picture and laugh about it while walking away. No one really goes in to try anything.
Hopefully, this doesn't lower the tone too much but Vauxhall Audi Group made me laugh a lot when I was a student intern visiting a trade show for my company, and there were loads of people walking around with namebadges that said, "Vag representive", or "Vag spokesman", or "Vag technical expert".
Somewhat off color story about web page names... Several years ago I was working with a non-profit sports club and on their Internet message board I suggested they have a sports viewing party at an area restaurant called 'Big Al's'. Their web page is 'I Love big Al's dot com'. When I posted the link, I was looked at oddly as: https://www.ilovebigals.com/ got continuously read as 'I love bi gals'... I never lived it down.
I think I can beat those:- penisland.net – Pen Island sydneytherapist.com – Sydney Therapist mammotherection.com – Construction Company webone.com.au – Web One Check out this link:- http://www.citymaxblog.com/top-50-crappiest-domain-names-purchased/1240/ Some of them I dare not add to the post lol
Now whenever I see people online say something like "big-ass fans" I think of that cartoon where he said he moves the dash one word to the right. So this becomes, "big ass-fans". Childish I know but it always gives me a chuckle!
When I was a student on the way to the university, I often walked past one store called “healthy food”. But for some inexplicable reason, the food in this shop was presented in 2 windows and in another 10 windows a huge assortment of various alcoholic beverages was presented. Sometimes we joked: "I'll go buy a bottle of health." I do not consider myself an expert in marketing or healthy eating, but I think this is a strange name for a shop with alcohol. =)
There's a real estate company called the WTF Group. Unlike Big Ass Fans, I don't see anything that indicates that it's intentional.
