OT.... Names to avoid for your machine shop

Too much for this brain to comprehend.

What's next, a little "B&D" brake and alignment shop for our enjoyment?
After all, the women can always shop at THE BIG O, Overstock.com
Kinda gives you that warm fuzzy feeling all over, doesn't it.

S&M Tool looks to be doing well despite the name, but a Japanese restaruant in Santa Cruz, CA didn't last a year. It's name was "Otafuku" and it probably means something entirely wholesome in Japanese.
 
The fictional company "Screw You" would be a volume manufacturer of fasteners.
 
The company I worked for before spelled CMV in short.
CMV is a kind of genital herpes..

Also, in Sweden the german Kuka-robots makes many people smile strangely when they say it.
In swedish, kuk is.. ehm.. uhhm.. penis
 
Should we mention the "yellow bellied sump sucker" or the "big ass fan", with the picture of a donkey in their logo.
I wonder who gets to paint the yellow belly of the sump sucker.

There used to be a screw machine company around here called Uneeda Screw, and an electrical supply house called Vee Dee Electric.
 
"Otafuku" and it probably means something entirely wholesome in Japanese

I speak, write, and read Nihongo (Japanese) as well as any native speaker, just as long as the native speaker is two or three years old and a little slow. I would say Otafuku would mean father (of) luck. Gary P. Hansen
 
Foxboro Mass,right down the street where the Patriots play is a construction company called
Erection Specialist's, I kid you not! :D
 
Here's one that gives me a chuckle evertime I see it. P.O.S Solutions Who the heck thought up of that one I don't know.

I always wonder if that name hurts their sales and marketing. I tend to think that a company tries to solicit work in a similar manor to that of an an employee seeking work. In such situations first impressions count! I've heard many stories of interviewers tossing resumes for simple spelling errors, stating if they don't care enough to have some one else proof read their work then they aren't worth hiring.

Now with this company P.O.S. All I can say is my first impression is, "I hope their product doesn't live up to its name!"

Seriously thou what the hell were those guys thinking? I mean you can't quite blame the kid with the last name Lip****s for being born with such a name, or the poor woman who marries a husband with the same last name as her first, but a company choosing such a name!! I don't know, I think I would a bit biased against them at first if I never did buisness with them.

the shop I used to work for WAS named 'Bastian Plating Co.'....several years after I left I ran into one of the guys that still worked there, and he told me the new co. name....'Coating Technologies'...and of course the abbreviation they immediately came up with......'co-techs'....
