Re: Stupid Names For Businesses

There's some business outside a town I travel through whenever I visit my family, and it's called Mera Dog. It annoys me to no end every time I see it, because the language mix is so ugly.

The 'Dog' part is definitely English (good thing, too, since 'dog' means 'died' in Swedish!), since they sell (and make?) dog food, but 'Mera' seems to be Swedish. It means 'more', only it's spoken language/casual, so it's not even supposed to be used in written language! And the name doesn't even make grammatical sense!
