In all seriousness, doesn't this cause problems for you when registering for bank accounts, or trying to do any business activity with your company name? I think the whole thing is hilarious, I just can't believe it seems like you're actually using the company!
Haha! Yes, that reaction happens a lot - a friend tried to discourage me from doing it actually for that reason, but I told him I'd just rename it if it became burdensome. So far it has only been a little bit burdensome.
Bank account was actually incredibly easy, that is the one I expected to be difficult, too. I had no problems at all, I made an account with the usual process. Should note I'm using one of those new-fangled 'challenger banks' so they're probably quite tech savvy/their systems aren't 50 years old, that probably helped.
The worst one has been the domain name, oddly. I wanted to get the .ltd.uk domain name (only available to registered companies in the UK) to basically complete/highlight the joke. But, I have been waiting for over a year or something now for it to actually be registered, it keeps being rejected by the registrar (there is a weird validation process to make sure you're a real company, etc). I could have sped it up by trying with a better registrar who are more aggressive at getting things done, probably, I had a few offers from smaller registrars - but I just went for the .co.uk in the end instead.
