To ban DP from calling a food van this

DP, a chef, is looking into opening a food business; and thinking about a gourmet food van selling hot and cold sandwiches etc. He has mooted the following as a potential name... 'In Bread'.

I think (hope!) he is joking as it's the worst name I've ever heard, but he thinks it's funny. WIBU to LTB if he ever actually did it?

I give you the Nailsea off license - "Amy's Wine House"

Arf at the hamwidge van.
I love In Bread is funny and novel. Our sandwich van at work was called buns on the run.....it's way funnier than that Grin

When I was doing music performance at Uni in Oz there was a small jazz band thing that one of the Tutors, who's name was Harry, set up. It was called Harry's Chronic Juniors Grin

Ha! Turban Outfitters and Much Ado About Muffins are genius! Nothing will ever, ever beat the speciality butchers, 'Halal, is it meat you're looking for?' though. Grin

How about a fish and chip shop called a salt & battery?

Ha ha. Let him do. It's great. But then, I have always thought bakers were inbreed.

Love it. Does he come from Ventnor?

I like In Bread! What's not to like?

Our local one is called Snack in the Mouth. Please don't call it that!

Clever puns and double meanings can be amusing and good for business names aimed at the general public.

Puns and double meanings where one of the meanings is offensive or unpleasant are not good. In-breeding isn't a positive thing. The "cleverness" of finding a bread-related pun is vastly outweighed by whether it's tasteful or not.

I suggest instead "In Good Taste" Grin

In bread makes me a little nauseated; not an appetising name. Maybe: Well bread? Zippy's? One with Everything? As You Like It?

Food vans that sell really tasty food are the in thing in the states and have been for a while. My guess is the trend will be hitting here very shortly.

Ooooooh! I've got a good one if he's near a library: Focaccia in the Rye.

LadyBeagleEyes · 25/05/2013 21:23

Well Gourmet = posh = Upper classes, so In Bread would be entirely suitable IMO.

knackeredmother · 25/05/2013 21:25

I think that name is funny.
There is a takeaway near me called, and I kid you not, 'Eat
Me out'.

Raaraathenoisybaby · 25/05/2013 21:37

Snack in the mouth is amazing!

WhiteBirdBlueSky · 25/05/2013 21:41

I think it's an awful name. Since it's referring to incest I think there's something a bit queezy about it. And that's wrong for a food van.

Tee hee

toomuch2young · 25/05/2013 21:49

A friend nicknamed a local one 'mutts nuts'

As in the dogs bollocks!

Genius!

Earthworms · 25/05/2013 21:59

We have 'brimful of rasher' near us.

Puns are fun, but as others have said, not high class

I like 'on a roll' suggested upthread. It's not trying too hard but is memorable
