I couldn’t come up with a better name for a manufacture of all things porcelain toilets and urinals.

What other companies have names that suit them such as a high end carpet manufacturer should be called Axeminster.

I also like the puns such as Sid’s Plaice for a chippy or a barbers called short cuts.

True.

Sadly, a local takeaway called The Fishy Muff appears to have closed.

A mate of mine has a key ring he got from a local petrol station that says “Top Muff”.

And (please Google if you doubt this one), there is a local booze producer called The Muff Liquor a company. I know that sounds made up, but it is true.

I worked in a bank where one of the gold traders was called Gold, and one of the bad traders was called Bond.

If the head of our division had the surname Cunt, that would have been a good fit too.
