Naming an establishment
Do you have to run a law firm in order to name your establishment with two surnames (i.e. Baram and Jonscott)? It's just so common, and I haven't heard of any other professional business doing it.

You mean like Sears and Roebuck? Not to mention all the architects, accountants, ad agencies... Look in your local phone book for a lot of other examples.

I just thought there was some unwritten rule, and people who didn't abide by it were scoffed at. As if it was just not done, or at least shouldn't be unless very much justified or desereved. But you've reassured my confidence. I'll take your answers as official advisory permission and justification. That way, if they don't like the idea, I can just say two complete (yet very trustworthy) strangers said it was alright.

Hey, we don't even have to go to "professionals" like accountants and ad agencies. Doesn't anyone remember "Sanford and Son"?

Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, and McCormick - and I think I've left a Hungerdunger out, and the most important one, too - were not a legal firm (or not a very legal one).

In that case, amid so much absence of legality, could the absent Hungerdunger be said to be particularly important at all?

Absolutely - he was No. 2 on the most-wanted list - after John Hillinger-Dillinger.

I thought he was most often seen bearinga-derringer, in the company of the infamous Mac the Knife and his associates Frank and Sally.
Clyde and Bonney used to run Tiger with them when they weren't trying to raise the money to set up a legal firm. They eventually gave up when they found there ain't no Sanity Clause.
