In the city recently, after doing a stint at my part-time voluntary job, I tried a new route home to explore a little and noticed this Thai restaurant name:
It reminded me of others I remembered from the distant past – there was a hairdresser called ‘Heads I do’ and another called ‘Hairport’. There are of course many more good examples online. So here is a little selection of funny (or painful) Business names. Enjoy.
Do you have any favourite funny / punny business names?

I love punny business names. There used to be a furniture shop on the way to my Uni called Chester Drawers, which I thought was brilliant, but they changed it to something really boring like ‘something discount store.’ I was p-ed off with that.

Damn, that’s a shame. Much better to keep memorable and fun names.

Think my favourite is ‘Just Falafs’😀 Our local newspaper did an article on this a while ago. Some of the best ones in the area are: So Wok? (Take away), Curl up and Dye (hairdressers), Junk and Disorderly (second hand store) and my personal favourite, a mobile tanning service called U Rang a Tan – I just hope they don’t come out as orange as the old men of the forest!!

Those are all great, but U Rang a Tan is pure genius. There should be a Nobel prize for puns..

Hairdressers seem to be the worse offenders for creating these pun style names. Curl up and Dye is brilliant!

I agree the punny hairdressers do seem to be fairly widespread. Although not something you’d notice so much?

Actually, I knew of a hairdressers called “Curl Up and Dye” too. I guess great hairdressing minds think alike. From memory, other ones I’ve seen or heard of (I can’t remember which) are “Goldie Locks” and “Snippets.”
