>> From: Donald Gillies <gillies@cs.ubc.ca> Can anyone think of a bicycle manufacturer whose name sounds worse in English than "Gipiemme" ?? With a name like "Gipiemme", why not introduce a series of bicycle cables called "Snapiemme" and perhaps introduce a line of paints called "Chipiemme" ?? <<
If you don't like Gipiemme, how about Ofmega?
I can't see that without thinking "off make".
See this post from archives for explanation of how Gipiemme name came about:
