An aptronym is defined as a personal name aptly or peculiarly suited to its owner. Most of us have famously heard of Thomas Crapper, the unfortunately named manufacturer of Victorian toilets, and of course, Anthony D. Weiner who infamously showed off his...well, you know, his weiner. Have you heard of any of these appropriately (or perhaps inappropriately) named people?

While it is true that you have little control over your name (yes, you can change it), it's a different thing when a business chooses a name that for whatever reason, is totally unfortunate and often hilarious. Here are some of the worst business names ever chosen -- have you heard about any of these?

Special mention to one profession that has more than its share of aptly named professionals -- meteorologists. Perhaps some of these are adopted names, but many on this list were their real names. How many have you heard before this survey?
