The power of the pun: the punniest names for small businesses

A record number of new businesses opened last year so if you’re looking to stand out from the crowd, you’ll need to a make strong first impression. A witty or quirky business name is usually much more memorable, which, in turn, can impact customer perception, add recommendations and give you increased exposure on social media.

Without further ado, here are some of our favourite names you pun-tastic lot of small businesses have thought up in recent years.

The Codfather

Sleep with the fishes with what is now the original pun-name for many fish and chip shops in the UK.

Arnie’s Sarnies
‘You’ll Be Back’, the shop’s tagline reads. Customer retention is sky high, no doubt.

Barber Streisand
There are no more tears (or bad hair days) after a visit to this London barbers.

Floral and Hardy
Now a staple name for many florist shops, Stan and Oliver could well work in one of them.
