There is a place in my hometown D&C barber shop..

A plumbling company here in Calgary who's motto was "Professional Shit Disturbers", not sure if they still use it.

Theres a guy in Chicago who cleans dog kennels, his business name is Kennel Help U.

Well there's " Daddy's carpet cleaning" here in Austin

Theres an elevator repair company in NYC who's motto is 'we get it up every time'

Here in Panama City Florida. We have Dirty Dicks Crab House and the T-shirt you can buy says, "I got my crabs from Dirty Dicks". Under it, it says Crab house. Their food is excellent regardless of their "vulgar" name.

How about:

Chicken Party

Hair Date

Friendly Meats

Lucky Meats

My brother works for an irrigation company and their moto is "Stick It In Your Grass"

There is a chiroprator in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, CA called "The Lucky Chiropractor Clinic"

How about a trash service.

ABC Waste Removal Services "let us handle your junk"...lol

I saw one in PA next to Amish country, it was a pharmacy called "Happy Harry's Drugs" now the name may not be as bad as the logo which is an old man with a bottle of liquid drugs in one hand and the other with bills falling out of a bottle. And the unfortunate thing is the sign shook side to side lol

Saw this one some years back in a rural town in australia, Dwayne Pipe Plumbing. LMAO

Kyle n me said this was hahahahahaha funny. We like the Ride Us Used Cars one. Keep getting more.

little beaver liquor in Yampa, Colorado.

Here in Seymour, Indiana we have an OB/GYN practice named Fish & Perry. WHAT THE HELL?! Isn't it bad enough that we have to go there, let alone make us feel bad that some women actually smell that way?

How's this one for a bait shop: Master Bait & Tackle.

there's a scaffolding company in my home town who doesn't have a bad name for the company, but it's motto is something else...."Need a fast erection?"

I'm in Australia and see a lot of funny business names. In Sydney on oxford st (where there are a lot of gay pride clubs etc) there's a liquor store called Lick Her Shop. There's also a plumber named Waste Deep. I think those pun business names are really good as long as they're not too vulgar. My friend just started a business called Nail It Carpentry, I think that's a great name.

lol @ "Salami Salon"

wonder what goes on in there..? :)

Have a convenience store called BIGGAS in Bryan, TX

There's a fish and chip shop in Brisbane, Australia, called the Codfather!

one of my absolute favorites has always been experts exchange; however, on the sign all the letters combined look like expertsexchange or expert sexchange.

Furniture store in Tampa Fl called Badcock... Their tag is Badcock makes it easy...

Long Hard Wood in Largo Fl...

Product called Aspercream... Their ad used to say "you bet your sweet ass percream"

Long Hard Wood Inc... Largo Fl

Isle liquor

Like.. I'll lick her

ILSE LIQUOR (it sounds vulgar), located in Isle, Minnesota.

This Hub is awesome! Great!

Curl up and dye hair salon.

Very funny. There's a PMS Insurance agency in Garden Grove, CA. When we drove past it, my daughter-in-law said, "I didn't know you could get insurance for that."

I did a hub on Beauty Shop names-- but I think they are required by law to have punny, funny or alliterative ones.

Those are some funny business names. That reminds me, there's a church called Hookers Church of Christ. Located on hooker st. ;)

In Australia there is a real estate which has an unfortunate name.

'Dick Payne Real Estate' ---

In the ohio valley we have the busy beaver ! It speaks for it self.

These are so funny! Good job.

Very entertaining and interesting. There used to be a plumbing supply company in Norwalk, Conn., named "The Royal Flush." I don't know whether or not it helps business, but it sure attracts your attention.

Hilarious--one of my favorites here in Wash state is a Vietnamese noodle restaurant called WHAT THE PHO (Pho-pronouned like "fah"). Love the hub:)

Another offering, this time of a name that I DO think is unfortunate, is a local carpet-fitting firm called Easy Lay. I wonder how they are able to recruit receptionists who are happy to answer the phone and say the company's name down the line!

Sometimes its not what you say, it's the way that you say it. I don't know about Americans, but we Brits often refer to Cafe Nerd, because the O looks so much like a D!

Good for you. I just don't know how you do it all these hubs, school...I bet you don't sleep enough...Here I go playing Mommy. Again great fun HUB

Zs

How did the test go? Will you get plastered in celebration???Haha zs

Whitney! You're right "Get crabs here" is really off the cuff. Still makes me laugh though. Please don't change your hub...It's great the way it is. Your point is that when choosing a busuness name one should not take it lightly...A business name is very important. So "Get Plastered" is not for the neon over the door its to celebrate the grand opening. I love the hub

Some inappropriate but are easy to remember. One thing, my boyfriend even made designs for Shoemake's Cakes. Kinda odd.

I agree with the Indexer. A lot of those names you have as samples are just great. I think the first one on your list is awesome "SEW WHAT" explains all.

If a business has a tongue in cheek name it is so much easier to remember...I found. As advertising with humor sells more, so does a good funny name.

Great fun collection of business names. regards Zsuzsy

These are hilarious! Very fun!

I'm interested in why you should think a certain business name is bad. Surely the measure of a name's worth is whether it attracts business. I have come across some excellent names that simply make you stop and think, such as the hair salon called Hair Today, and the bookshop in London's Turnham Green district called Turnham Pages. Many of the names on your lists are brilliant!

I have come across several that are unfortunate, because they rely on an inappropriate name or set of initials. Among these are Breakwell Glass and GBH Autos (in the UK, GBH stands for Grevious Bodily Harm!). I am also unsure whether I would visit Mr Cramp the chiropodist or the barber shop run by Scutum and Punchard!

I chose my own business name to say who I am and what I do, and hopefully to be a name that nobody else had chosen before. I therefore operate under the name Welford Writes, because my name is Welford and I write!
