What's the oddest business name you've come across?
There's a music shop in downtown Duluth, MN called "The Electric Fetus."
There was a crafts place in St Francisville, LA called "Feather Your Nest."

there is a really good one locally. i don't know if i'll ever remember the name. but i couldn't take it seriously. i'm pretty sure it made me think of poop, or something sexual (possibly even a disease).  neither of which are good things.
oh, here's one that makes me laugh - "woodcock" is a bicycle store here. their logo is a tree. it still makes me giggle 10 years later.

The Electric Fetus has a few stores in Minnesota. One is not too far from where I work in Minneapolis.

Dude, you just killed it for me. I thought it was an independent store. 
Tim, one of our vendors at work is Templet and Templet Welding, or as they put on the sign and invoices, T 'n' T.
