Spoonerific Sobriquets
If you (roughly) transpose the first sounds of your first and last names, what kind of product or business would your new name be? I ask because I I'm pretty sure my spoonerized name is already trademarked as a med for an STD.
Example: Susan Brag could become Brusan Sag -which might be a skin rejuvenation product or a home for defeated boxers
You don't need to tell us your name to participate, although I will share that my real name is Dr. Dotty Spickure

Mine's definitely a psychiatric medication. But a sort of ointment?

Re: Spoonerific Sobriquets
Nothing of any note comes from transposing the first part of my first and last names, but I did know a Yorkshireman who was a chronic Spooner sufferer.
He wore a cat flap on his head.

Re: Spoonerific Sobriquets
Spooner? Cat Flap??
Spoonerism...
A verbal error in which a speaker accidentally transposes the initial sounds or letters of two or more words, often to humorous effect, as in the sentence you have hissed the mystery lectures
Named after Reverend William Spooner who was prone to the above.
Yorkshiremen are gritty no nonsense types whose headgear of choice is the 'flat cap' which, in more traditional circles, is believed to be spot welded on shortly after birth.
Anyway, please forgive typos and other errors. I was never any good at welling spurds.

My parents called them titfers, and it was only in my adult years I learned this was from cockney rhyming slang father than being a type of hat perhaps similar to a tam o'shanter

Thank you Sir, for the extensive explanation making it clear it's British regional thing to wear a cat flap. 
I hope your new year is doggy and pleasant.

Re: Spoonerific Sobriquets
Thanks Bruce. A happy New Year to you as well!
My four footed friend spent Wednesday with us (owners are at home this week) and normal routine will return Tuesday next.
And yes, I bought the hound a Christmas present.
