...which goes back to why some folks have problems with Yahoo because they just don't have a clue how to name a website, including the concept of a company name.

steveb - Generally, Yahoo uses the company name, not the website name. If this thread were about choosing company names for a new web company, I'd be substantially with you, at least for some kinds of companies.

But you've taken my point about "sensible" and company names out of context. It was referring to the fact that the cows are already out of the barn by the time I'm dealing with a company name. So, while I've learned when to suggest to clients that they rename their companies, I've also learned, perhaps more importantly, when not to.
