Chip shop owners, barbers, wine shops, and other businesses in the UK can't resist using pun-based names. These names, such as The Codfather and A Fish Called Rhondda, attract attention and customers. Florist Rachael Allen named her business Dark Side of the Bloom after the Pink Floyd song, and it has become popular with alternative wedding clients. The shop name competition, organized by language learning platform Babbel, aims to find the best (or worst) pun-based shop names. However, not all business owners believe that these names have a significant impact on their success. The linguistic and cultural expert from Babbel suggests that the popularity of puns in Britain reflects the versatility and richness of the English language.
