Calling all you clever folk!
 
I've been laboring over finding a name for a new corporation I'm forming. I was hoping some of the clever people on here could help out. I thought it might be fun to use an obscure baseball term, name, nickname, basically anything referencing baseball. The corporate name is just used for legal documents and the general public will not be privy unless they really want to pry.

SO, i would love to hear what you got. If I use your name, you will win... Nothing! But, you can have the satisfaction of knowing you are one clever person. ;)

Since it apparently involves legal fees and confidential information, why not

"High and Inside" ??

Jeff_cvc 03-25-2015 10:00 PM

Great!
 
gentlemen, it is obvious that the above ideas are already far better then my own! Thank you for making me laugh. I did think of Merkle's Boner, but I know the wife wouldn't go for it. I will let the thread go for a couple more days in the hopes of more laughs. Thank you for your input!

bobbyw8469 03-25-2015 10:15 PM

Give us a hint as to the corporation....maybe we can get some insight to come up with better names.

edjs 03-25-2015 10:24 PM

Whatever you want. That's what I would call it. Whatever You Want, LLC. Has a nice ring to it.

Jeff_cvc 03-25-2015 10:27 PM

Corp name
 
Robert - for tax purposes and liability reasons, our lawyer suggested we use a second corporation as we open our second restaurant. Each restaurant has its own corporation, so if we get sued, they can only come after one restaurant and not take down both of them. And, for reasons I can't explain, our accountant suggests this route for tax purposes. None the less, our restaurant is a high end quick service style, featuring artisanal pizzas and salads, using organic, and local produce, meats and ingredients. The corp. name doesn't necessarily have to have any relation to the restaurant. Our first corp is called Simon6toes, INC. This is in reference to our cat of 16 years that passed years ago, his name was Simon and yes, he had six toes.

This may be the leader at the moment, but I am, of course, partial to the baseball names.

"honflan's"

Jeff_cvc 03-25-2015 11:21 PM

3 finger brown - tugs at my heartstrings, keeps the eternal Simon in mind and the obvious baseball reference.

High Heat - clever use of bb and food

Eat'em where they ain't - nice twist

You guys are great, can't wait to share all of these with the wife. The winning name should get a free meal if/when that person is ever in Denver.

How about "can of corn"? At least it's a food reference.

You know, David, I had that as one of my suggestions. I'm not kidding. I had a list of three suggestions typed out, with can of corn being one. I ultimately wanted to decide on one, so I wiped them out.

Touch 'em all would be great for a buffet, lol.
