I’ll probably never do it, but every time a movie or TV show ends, I’m fascinated by the company names and always start imagining what I would call something. Wine labels too now have some wonderful names, for example.
In South Australia we visited the Bird in Hand winery, and enjoyed the Two in the Bush shiraz. I have some Arrogant Frog wines in our cupboard in the room next to me, and there are countless other wine labels with fun and fascinating names, none of which I can recall right now. I always thought if I became an interior designer, I could use the mali flower, and call it Jasmine Designs. I’d like to call something after the horrible name our road was given when I was at school. Swamp Road Film Productions, perhaps? Or Suzy the Sheep Enterprises, after a memorable pet, Two-Room School after my primary school, or perhaps Tadpole Island Wines, after a little island in a stream behind our house where my sister and I used to play.
Do you have any secret names for great productions tucked away, at the ready, for when opportunity knocks?
No, but when I was in my early twenties I thought “No Shit” would be a good name for a rock band.

Love it! It would be an even better name for a chamber music ensemble, however.

Names of products and such are so interesting – I have no doubt a lot of thought go into most of them. I always enjoy it when people put the story of the name of a wine or product on the label.
I had an address once on a street named “Old Ditch”…I always wondered who came up with that!

When opportunity knocks–and I’m hoping it won’t be a Jehovah’s Witness–I”m ready to dust off my secret name and rechristen myself as Delphine just before opening the door and sashaying into a new life.

I think about these things a lot too! Like what would my product line be called, etc. I love the names of local distilleries, for instance. My favorite Rye right now is called 630 Rally Point, for instance.
Hardscrabble something, of course, would be one of mine. Ursula Productions might be another. Cassidy or maybe Fare Thee Well…hmmm.

Dh, his brother & cousins used to joke about going into the construction business together like their dads, & calling it “Whitehorse Construction.” The Italian words for White & Horse being their family names. 😉
