Dog-grooming 'salons' seem particularly prone to silly names.
Near where I live in Glasgow are Pawcasso and Glamour Paws. The latter is particularly irritating, because the name is clearly a play on "glamour puss", and a puss is a cat, not a dog.

At a slight tangent but in the same spirit - from today's Sunday Times:
'Grit Rhys Jones, Spred Sheeran and Sir Melton John are among the gritters that will take to the Suffolk roads this winter after a naming competition. Suffolk Highways asked people to suggest monikers for its 41 gritting lorries and received 500 entries.'

Lady plumber who used to live in my apartment building “April’s Showers”.
She wasn’t called April and she wasn’t a very good plumber either. She knew how to charge though 😡

In Doncaster you will find gritters named "Gritsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Anti-Slip Machiney" and "David Plowie".
