Who thinks up these stoopid DCA names?

[babybear39]

Please answer the above question in 500 words or less as the reader (me) has a limited attention span

[lickthewallfatboy]

I don't know,but some of them have me in total fits

[babybear39]

Gothia?

 

Imagery of wampire bats, igors (oh wait, isn't that a sister company?) creaking and crypts...

[Bazooka Boo]

I reckon it must be one of their 'Pre-school' divisions.

Valid even if not read by you BB.

[harrassed senior]

Interim Justica or however they spell it, try to sound like a Latin company who are Officials Of The Crown?

[angry cat]

Marketing companies.

 

Makes no difference whether the product is shampoo or milling machinery;

name has to fit the product/service and;

the phylosophy behind the Group image e.g. Link Outsourcing Limited...

[cashins]

Vilcollections

 

Must have come up with that pretty late on a saturday night out.

Moorcroft obviously like pots.

[Rooster-UK]

Drop 'em straight down the Royal Dalton!

[sillygirl1]

I still think that some of the names reflect the level of incompetency of the staff they hire, I still think the old Register of Debtors of England and Wales has a long way to go, must be one of the biggest registers EVER!

 

Valid even if not read by you is the silliest statement ever.

 

Pre-Bailiff division has to earn a few brownie points too....

[Pinky69]

They are chosen so their real names can be adapted appropriately eg Capital One becomes CrapOne, Lowells becomes Leeds Losers and Cabot becomes any old "C" you care to think of!

[babybear39]

Another school of thought would suggest that some of the names at least cater for their master's delusions of grandeur

 

1st morons comes to mind

[alfwithhair]

Rockwell

Rock - large heavy object

Well - Deep hole sometimes filled with water

 

Attach said rock to demand for payment and drop in the well

[sillygirl1]

Scotcall - always gives me the impression a tall Scotsman in a kilt will turn up playing bagpipes....

 

Meritforce - in fact any DCA name with Force in should be barred, particularly Sherforce....

[babybear39]

I have a strong urge to call scotcall snotfall

[kiptower]

call call em' that s'not fall

 

they normally fall at the first hurdle once their victim has been on here and got good advice

[PGH7447]

CrapQuest - Our quest is to show you how Crap we are

[fuzzybobble]

It must be a common theme to have stupid names.

 

Here's a few I found using Google Maps in different areas of the UK....
