    Some are obvious clearly, but some less so, and some downright bizarre in my opinion.

    Anyone wanna explain why they named themselves thus?

    Some years ago I worked for Bos Office Supplies, all my customers who I visited always called me Bossman.

    The company I used to work for many years ago, before it was bought out, was called Distinction Systems Limited, which we always abbreviated to DSL.

    Boring, I know.

    I'm a birder, shitehawk is a slang name for a herring gull (seagull).
    It could have been worse, I might have gone for the medieval name for a kestrel - windf**ker.

    I once translated it and it didn't make any sense with no context, but I'm sure there's a story... Store or Rollo might have made more sense.
