It’s one thing to create a name or slogan that’s perfect, like the toilet-seat-cover maker’s product line “Rest Assured” or the paving company’s bumper sticker “If you do it yourself, it’s your own asphalt.”
It’s another thing to have a name that ends up fitting your career perfectly and calls to mind the nature vs. nurture debate from my developmental psychology class in college:
–Teets (a cattle farming family’s last name)
-Penny (a city treasurer candidate’s first name)
-McGeoy (the last name of a woman in charge of a solar energy project in California)
-Dennis (a dentist)
-Dr. Wack (a chiropractor; see more doctor names here)
-Rotz Meats and Gore Meats (meat/butcher shops)
-Margaret Spellings (Secretary of Education under Bush)
I’m sure there are a ton more….
