<\/p>\nWhat\u2019s in a name?<\/p>\n
Take ourselves we are Timber Composite Doors \u2013<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
-because we sell exactly that Timber Composite Doors<\/a><\/p>\n And the doors we sell are Solidor Doors-<\/p>\n -they are called Solidor because they are manufactured with a solid timber core<\/p>\n It all seems quite straight forward but choosing the correct company name is not without its pitfalls.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Every company has to have a name which means every budding entrepreneur at some stage has to make the decision as to which name he\/ she chooses and as that name will be associated with the entrepreneur\u2019s name for the life of the company its worth taking the time to get it right –<\/p>\n Can we always take a lead from William Shakespeare\u2019s -Juliet as she states in Act2 Scene2 of Romeo and Juliet<\/p>\n \u201cWhat’s in a name? that which we call a rose<\/em> But is this still really true \u2013 Shakespeare was dealing in one language \u201cEnglish\u201d but how many words when translated from the English language and translated into a foreign language can actually mean something completely different.<\/p>\n Some company names simply pick themselves when either the full name or just the surname of the individual is the registered name \u2013 but what if the chosen name is to be descriptive of the product \u2013 we all use vacuum cleaners but if pushed the majority of us would still refer to them as \u201cHoovers\u201d<\/em> no matter what the manufacturer of the product, some names just stick. It all seems a bit strange as it is now possible to buy a Hoover Fridge \/ Freezer.<\/p>\n But it can get worse \u2013 have you ever tried putting your own name in a Google browser \u2013 if you are up with Social media or have done something of note you may find yourself \u2013 but delve a little deeper into others who have your name and you may come up with some surprises. One of the guys here in GFD HQ (we will not give the name to avoid embarrassment) discovered that both a foreign airport (which is fine) and a well known (in her own country) stripper (not so fine) carried his surname.<\/p>\n With something as simple as –<\/p>\n -we reckon we are pretty safe and our bit of \u201csurfing\u201d has turned up nothing interesting.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However when we tried the same thing with our door supplier \u201cSolidor\u2019s\u201d name<\/p>\n THE RESULTS WERE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With a name like Solidor you would think the image would be pretty wholesome and clean \u2013 but that\u2019s assuming that no one has Solidor as a surname and this is where it all goes slightly wrong.<\/p>\n We found one without trying to hard a celebrated lady of the early 1900\u2019s a certain Suzy Solidor<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n A lady who was a Socialite, a singer a collection of her songs is available on U tube one of her more famous being Lily Marlene<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 (she was even the heroine of a song called Sad Songs<\/a> written and performed by the 1980\u2019s band \u201cthe Christians- worth a watch)<\/p>\n – and nightclub owner who frequented Paris and whom was to become known as \u201cthe most painted woman in the world\u201d \u2013 unfortunately a large proportion were of the lady naked.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Suzy Solidor<\/p>\n She posed for some of the most celebrated artists of the day including\u00a0Pablo Picasso<\/a>,\u00a0Georges Braque<\/a>,\u00a0Raoul Dufy<\/a>,\u00a0Tamara de Lempicka<\/a>,\u00a0Marie Laurencin<\/a>,\u00a0Francis Picabia<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Kees van Dongen<\/a>. Her stipulation for sitting was that she would be given the paintings to hang in her club and by this time she had accumulated thirty-three portraits of herself. La Vie parisienne became one of the trendiest night spots in Paris.<\/p>\n Solidor\u2019s most famous portrait was painted by\u00a0Tamara de Lempicka<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0who in the best of social circles including Hollywood was known as (the baroness with a brush)<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tamara de Lempicka<\/p>\n Both Ladies Suzy Solidor and Tamara de Lempicka immortalized the roaring twenties\u2019 extravagant lifestyle \u2013 unfortunately where Tamara gained a worldwide reputation as an exponent of her baring all \u2013<\/p>\n As we said somewhere at the beginning \u201cWhat\u2019s in a name\u201d well in the case of Solidor \u2013 quite a lot more than just superb quality doors<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What\u2019s in a name?
