    I got a new Dr today and his name is Dr. Bowel. And yes, the appointment was for gastrointestinal issues. That guy saw a chance in life and took it.

        An old doctor I saw years ago was Dr. Payne, he was treating my broken foot which was very painful.

    Is there some rule that says they need to use their family name in their landscaping business name?

    They chose to use it themselves.

    I’m torn between my desire to suggest a portmanteau in all possible situations (Blandscaping) and the fact that this would be an even worse name

      Lol, run with it! It would be memorable, and people would talk about it.
