Posting about Certiport's name genesis (Certification Portal) got me thinking about other organizations that have portions of two words knit nicely together to describe their business. (I'll leave it to you to come up with your own list. If you're lazy like me, this list is helpful)
This sort of abbreviated-word conjoining must have been very popular among technology companies in the 90s.
At any rate, I started wondering what my abbreviated two-word company name would be. Since I do an awful lot of writing that should have been technically completed yesterday or even earlier (yes, I'm complaining about deadlines) I think the name Wrinow! (Write Now!) would be appropriate.
Now it's your turn: Come up with and post your company name; I'll guess what it stands for.

Either you have 8 arms or this is an occupational beginning for you. I'll go with the later.

How about "Happenink"?

Could this be "Happy Pen & Ink?" They are so happy together.

I'm envisioning you laughing hysterically while you drive ... which could very well be a safety hazard for all.

Thanks, Brock. Now I know where I can go for the "high-brow" humor. Taking the high road ... the Wizzard of Dogs maybe?
