Match, for example, is a martini bar where singles hope to meet their match. The bar also features fire places which were started by a match.
Other examples in Boston include "Blade" for the name of a barber shop, and "Injeanius" for the name of a store that sells jeans.
I've noticed quite a few store names in Toronto that also use puns to grab consumer's attention about the products being sold in the store. Here are pictures of a few of my favourites:
Prints Charming = a picture frame store
Pho Pa = a clothing store (fashion faux pas)
Heel Boy = a shoe store
Spectacle = a glasses store
Write Impressions = a paper/stationary store
Your Clothes Friend = a clothing boutique
