Well here in leafy Surrey as I look at my garden I see that my horse chestnut tree needs a bit of a trim. Better call in my favourite tree surgeon...

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.'
