I like seeing funny and strange names of stores. One week, I went through the Toronto phone book and wrote down the names I reacted to — my list grew to over 100 names! I’ve divided them into three groups, the first group containing my favourites. I had hoped visitors would vote for their favourites; perhaps the page needs to be done like a form. But please continue to tell me of your own discoveries to add to the list. I'm looking forward to your input :-)
The Funniest Business Names in Toronto |
|
I would like to know which ones you laugh at. The code after the name consists of the first letter of the name and a number, for example, d1, which will make it easier for you when you email me your favourite names. Please keep your list to less than ten names. I’ll regularly
rearrange this list in popular order (with votes in parenthesis) amd
eventually add photos. Also, I welcome funny names of other Toronto
businesses to add to the list. |

Encounters, underwear? Nope, dating. My favourite name for a gay bar
is The Back Door. I like to make up names, too, like: Yonge Senior’s
Centre, Victoria Parka, Pharmacy Pharmacy (on Pharmacy Ave.), Canadian
Tired, Taco Buzz, and Beached Whale.

you find the funniest? Do you have any other very funny names I can
