There's a joker at the renaming office.

I have family members named Plato and Descartes. Oh, and a whole 'nother side with the name King.

Cheng Peng Bouty
Pronounced (phonetically) as Champagne Booty.

For odd IT names, I had a friend with the last name Poovathor, first (Americanized) name Phillip. The server would take the first 3 letters of your last name and your first initial. So he was POOP. We (including he) all laughed at that one.

This thread got me thinking of business names.
What would you name a business?

I'm thinking a bike company based on "Blazing Saddles"
A bike line named on such. Bespoke frames with the names of...
Lili Von Shtupp, Bart, Gene, Mr. Taggart, and Mongo. All, with distinct personalities and such.

Another unfortunate name from back in HS. To make matters even worse, she was amply endowed too.
