I followed a driving school car that had the web site URL :

www.upassdrivingschool.co.uk

I think the strategic use of a hyphen would have helped to clarify that they really meant "U pass driving school"

Friend of mine, let's call him "Dave Smith" set up a printing company years ago and named it "Kinnell Printing Services".
When queried about the strange choice of name he answered by saying:
"I just love picking up the phone and saying just one word -'Kinnell'" :lol:

I once interviewed and went to work for a company to package and sell a software package they wanted to call OPENIS (for Open Information System).

Amazingly even when this was pointed out they still wanted to continue with this name. Persistence is a virtue and it ended up being called OASIS.

Strangely it went on to develop a monobrow!
