If company names count here, there at least used to be a local small business here in MD with the name "Busy Ditch". They dug trenches for utilities among other things.

Addition: the company is still around. http://www.busyditch.com/

(Not an endorsement, just pointing out the site)

There is a guy in Pittsburgh who owns a construction supply store -- Harry Dick, and he is a PE. We asked if his son's name was Fuzzy.

There is a local surveyor named Harry Pepe (pronounced Peep, but easily mispronounced).

Then there's SOL Engineering in Jackson, MS. Don't believe I would have named my company that, no matter what.:excruciating:

There used to be a congressman from NY named "Weiner". He was even going to run for Mayor of NYC before he go caught sending photographs of his own We.......

Oh, nevermind. No one's going to believe my story anyway and a congressman is too noble of a profession for us to undermine....;-)

I wonder if that company name was on purpose, if the owner knew the "common" meaning of that abbreviation.....

I am under the impression that Busy Ditch was founded by a woman who gave the name on purpose. (I forgot to mention that in my first post)
