    I personally payed homage to giantbomb by calling mine Carbon Neutral.

    Game-O-Vision to honor Code Monkeys :) 
     
    Then I just put in whatever popped into my head so my next two were Darkside and then Playsoft.

    I called my original company Carbon Neutral as well, but I deleted that save early on because I thought I made too many bad decisions and went bankrupt (turns out? contracts are important!) So my current mutli-award winning one is Nambu Studios, named after a crazy Indian Science teacher in my school that my friends and I make fun of a lot. NAMBUDRIPAD!!!!!!

    Gnawsome Games.  Without the space in between. 
     
    I named it on a whim because I did not think I'd spend upward of 6 hours with the game.

    I named mine "Bitches?" because I thought it would be funny. It made everyone's letters, reading "I love Bitches?", a lot more satisfying. 
     
    Also, the companies would constantly say, "Just what I would expect from Bitches?" which may even be better.

    My first company was 14 Characters. 
     
    my second was 'Fullbrog!' 
     
    Just put out a state-of-the-art console at year 12 with Fullbrog. The "best game ever" award continues to elude me. I imagine I need solid 10s across the board?

    Fits perfectly into the character limit and I think it's kind of catchy.

    I wanted something that sounded generic, techy, and businesslike. This was after all my unique ideas failed, being more than fourteen characters and all.

    Recycled Inc. cause Recycled Concepts was too long.
     
    The next one will be called Obsidian and they will only make sequels to Recycled games.  And they will ship with no debugging done.

    Lyinhead Studios.
     
    (Technically "LyinhedStudios" due to the arbitrary 14-letter limit.)  Sadly, our Robot Adventure game "TransFable" was not well-received.  I blame our frontman for claiming that it would be "The greatest Robot Adventure game of all time."
