I actually think this is a great business name, but for some it would fall into this category.  In St. Louis, where I grew up, there was a construction company whose trucks bore their name: Big Boy's Steel Erection.

There are a few Computer Tune and Lube locations in Connecticut. I thought it was a bad name for an electronics repair shop but it's actually a terrible name for a car repair shop.

There's a barber shop on Bushwick Ave in Brooklyn called STREETGANGS.COM BARBER SHOP.

There's a place in Redding, CA called "SASSY PLANTS"

what's worse: The sign for it isn't sassy-looking at all. It's quite drab, actually.

I believe that's a Jock Squad service.

A Little Off the Top: a topless hair salon for men I seem to recall being in Brick NJ in the 90s.

Loaf'n'Jug is a little chain of gas stations/convenience stores in the western states.

I live right down the street from a 24 hour adult bookstore called "Toy Box".

this isn't so bad really. Or it wouldn't be if there wasn't a massive billboard in front of it with the words "Toy Box" and a drawing of a stuffed bear.

I'm not kidding. Besides, I'm not creative (or funny) enough to make up something like this.

The adult book stores I see most often are just called Adult Books.
