Company Names

Weird derivations:

IKON – copier company name derived from I Know One Name.
Pepsi- Pepsi derives its name from (treatment of) dyspepsia, an intestinal ailment.

IMHO, names when heard should create some excitement. Here is a brief list:

* “Yahoo!”:http://www.yahoo.com/ – huuhh!
* “Freshizza”:http://www.sepiamutiny.com/sepia/archives/001583.html – Yes becos it is an eatery!
* “Riya”:http://www.riya.com/ – Not becos its a girl’s name.
* “Ittiam”:http://www.ittiam.com/ – I too think the same.
* “Ubuntu”:http://www.ubuntu.com/ – What it is?
* “Apple”:http://www.apple.com/ – Simple, Gentle & Clear.
* “Emuzed”:http://www.emuzed.com/ – Amused!
* “thŕattle”:http://thrattle.weblogs.us/ >:O)
