What's in a Name?
I love lists. And I love funny names. My aunt used to tell me a story about two girls that she went to elementary school with in Tennessee. Their names were Syphillus (pronounced SE-PH-EYE-LUS) and Gonorreah (pronounced GO-NO-REA). Apparently the mom thought the names "sounded pretty."
People put a lot of stock into names. Some would tell you that your future success is determined by the drunken moment your parents thought it would be just smashing to name their two sons Bert and Ernie. But for a business, your name is your face to the world. I read an article recently that asked for examples of law firms that might want to consider changing their names. For your reading pleasure, here's a list of my favorites (and these are real law firms folks, not just made up names to make us laugh):
(1) Morrison & Foerster, but only because their Web address is www.mofo.com.
(2) Drinka, Case & Diel (pronounced "deal").
(3) Weiner & Cummings.
(4) Lawless & Lynch.
(5) Duffus & Associates.
(6) The Strange Law Firm.
(7) Creamer & Seaman.
(8) Low, Ball & Lynch.
(9) Young & White.
(10) Law, Snakard & Gambill in Fort Worth, Texas.
(11) Johnson, Cram, Harder & Wells.
Bring on the law jokes.

They're lawyers, they're smart. They know what they're doing. They probably laugh everytime they see their firm's name on the door.
Sickos.

Phoenix: I don't know about that. Most lawyers that I know are so impressed by their names that they wouldn't even think about how stupid they sound together!
DA: HA HA.
Fuzz: The version I know is "Dewey, Cheatham & Howe," which has the same effect.
Ben: Good one!
Siren: I hear you. I'm also Fat & Lazy.
