I actually remember this thread, 11 years seems like a long time ago now.
As for funny or strange company names. The Swastika Laundry was my favourite. Their logo was a black swastika on a white circle on red painted vans. The laundry itself had a giant swastika on the chimney. This was in Dublin, Ireland up until the 1980s. I remember seeing them around town. But in 1912 when it was founded it wasn't odd.
