Stupidest name of an online retailer

I'm quite amused by these 'word salad' type names that seem to have been dreamed up by a non English speaker, who seems to have bunged two whimsical nouns together - I've just seen one called 'Spoonflower' FFS! I generally assume any such retailer is selling cheapo crap.

I'm wondering if someone somewhere has 'Online ladies' shop name generator' which just throws together anything for people setting up a shop from a list of the following:

Lily
Flower
Rose
Dress
Pretty
Chic
Cat
Kitten
Petal
Wish
Dream etc

I think my cheapo online crap retailer shall be named: Poppylove

Sorted.

There are some weird names.

Some stick I guess like moonpig or as we prefer to call it in my house suncow....so maybe we've been doing this in private anyway 🤣

I've noticed this too!

My biggest annoyance with website and company names isn't specific to retailers. It's when they take any random word and spell it wrongly, usually by removing a vowel or two. I always want to use the proper spelling when I mention it. Looking at you, Tumbler. Grin
