From the Law offices of “Dewey, Cheetham, and Howe”…
The are certain family names that should just avoid certain lines of work. I don’t doubt that these people have the talent to fill the position. I just think that naming their business after their names might be bad.
The example I saw recently:
Machetti’s Hair Stylist.
(And that’s a biiiig blade)
Can anyone come up with other good ones for a list?
Dr. Payne springs to mind…he was a dentist in my hometown.
There was a Dr Paine who was a cdhiropracter in my hometown. ๐
There was a Dr. Boring who was a chiropractor in my hometown…
Vet here in Pittsburgh. Same spelling. Yes, they’ve heard the joke about it ๐
I had a pre-med college roommate with the name Payne also.
She sure was a Payne to room with.
Here’s some I saw back home in Big D
Chin Hair Design
Dong Yang Video
There is a Law Firm in LA called Payne and Fears…does that count?
In Salt Lake, there used to be a law firm of Swindol, Rooker and Crook. (I am not making this up).
I swing more towards the Earhart Chartered Airplanes & Krueger Child Care, myself, but that’s not exactly what you’re looking for.
Back in Missouri, there was a denitist named Dr. Raper.
Yeah, I’m thinking a name change would be wise.
Paging Mr. Raper, Therapist
I would think some names you wouldn’t want to have: Raper being one of them… there’s a “Raper RV” somewhere in Indiana. In college there was a girl in one of my classes whose last name was Hooker.
Oh I just saw this one on someone elses journal
Cumming Cockburn LTD
My ex’s name was Jesse D A Crook…. no, one can’t make that up. Heheheh.
Imagine why I didn’t take his last name with mine? I would have been Ms. Miner-Crook. No.
I guess having Mr Crook as a banker or such mightent be the best profession.
Sam & Ella’s Homemade Sausage
Oh, I like this one!
It’s subtle, it took me a second reading. I realllllllly like this one.
George W. Bush, President
I had my wisdom teeth taken out by Dr Savage, his partner is Dr Slaughter. Medford, OR
The surgeon we used when I was a child….
Dr. Klutz.
Hang Lung Plastics
I always liked the delivery truck for the bakery that said “Gai’s Sticky Buns.”
I liked when Dogbert was consulting and said to name a Telecom company after an astronomical and an electrical term and came up with “Uranus Hertz.”
Linoleum Dick’s
There’s a car dealer in my town named Dick Boyles. Ouch! I could never buy a car there, it would be too painful.
Then there is this guy I dated in college named A Cox… who said at one time he dated S Snatch…
Cox and Snatch…. what a couple.
There really is a surgeon named Dr. Butcher out there. I remember it from paying insurance claims but don’t remember his locale.
