More obvious names include Mr Chips for fish and chip shops as well as the Taj Mahal for Indian restaurants.
Business firm Thomson Local.com said it also discovered that the most popular name for a pub was the Red Lion, while predictable names for hairdressers were The Hair Shop, The Hair Studio or Reflections.
