What Not to Name Your Company: Part 1

Mohawk Valley Authority
-I don’t care where it is, all I can think of is a town full of people all sporting Mohawks.

Testa Corp
-Remember that ‘Corp’ is generally pronounced without the p, and say it together. Not a perfect fit, but certainly enough for me to laugh.

BJ
-I don’t know what they intended it to stand for, but I do know that over 200 people are wearing it on their heads.

Yonkers Industries
-Apparently Yonkers is a city in New York, but that doesn’t make it less ridiculous sounding as a company name that doesn’t rent out clowns.

Kingery Construction
-With a name like that, I would fully expect them to make upscale nunnery-like places for the royal families of Europe. Maybe that’s where the princes send their dads when they get too old to make logical decisions.

White Energy
-Woah, energy only for white people? Who’s going to generate for the minorities? Are we going to start segregating our power supply? What’s next, segregated bathrooms? Water fountains? Schools?! I think we need to take a stand against this before it gets worse.

Shook
-As an important note, these people work in construction. Not someone I want to build my structure, that’s for sure.

SOS Well Service
-Help, I’ve fallen into a well! And I can’t get out! Ladies

Wheelabrator
-Honestly, I would have had no clue what they did if they weren’t the only company with that name. Even now, I have no clue what wheels have to do with waste management.

Smurfit-Stone
-Something tells me this company employs small blue men exclusively.

And finally:

Butt Construction
-Yes, they really do exist. No, I don’t know why they’re worth over $150 million.
