Parents come up with ideas to give their child an unusual name in different ways. For example, the daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin of Coldplay is named Apple, but not in honor of Steve Jobs, but because the musician’s agent already had a daughter with the same name, and the future parents liked how it sounded.
Basketball legend Kobe Bryant was named after the famous Kobe beef which his parents once saw on a restaurant menu. But the hero of today’s story got his name in honor of his parents’ bakery. About this bakery, and also about naming in particular, our tale will actually be.
The author of the post was named after his parents’ small bakery and started working there since his youth

At the age of 18, the guy lost both his parents so he ran the business on his own for a decade, as per the time described

After many years of working as sports journalist and trivia game author and host in Ukraine I joined Bored Panda as a content creator. I do love writing stories and I sincerely believe - there's no dull plots at all. Like a great Italian composer Joaquino Rossini once told: "Give me a police protocol - and I'll make an opera out of it!"

The in-laws have a good point. Pepsi Had a similar problem, and now all new hires have to legally change their name to Pepsi - if they didn’t then the company would change its name to Barry’s Cola Company, Keith’s Fizzy Drinks, Tony’s Sugary Sups, etc, every time a new person joined the shop floor - the paperwork alone would be a nightmare.(I’m case anyone is confused, I don’t think that. I think the opposite of that. And the in-laws are idiots)

These in laws sound like they are trying to muscle in on his ownership. I would put a stop to that right away. Seriously reduce their hours each time they bring up thre issue. And make your boundaries clear. Employees who try to act like partners are being insubordinate, and need to be disciplined.

Or hit them with "well if you want to be a partner here are the financial obligations". You'll have to buy in at a cost of $100,000 (replace with whatever the real figure would be). And you'll be expected to contribute to any other company costs that might occur. And instead of just turning up and working a few hours, you'll be expected to do a heap of other organisational stuff that happens behind the scenes, it should be about 50 hours a week...

There's a garage near us that I've been going to for 20 years. It's named after the guy who started and ran it originally, it's his surname. About 10 years ago it was bought by a couple of mechanic friends when the original owner retired. They've kept the business name as it always has been. I don't know their specific reasons, but I imagine it's because the garage had a good reputation (that they have maintained) and they wanted people to keep associating it with quality. Neither felt the need to rename it. If it ain't broke, and all that.

They also have a clear respect for the blood sweat and tears of the original owner who made that business worth buying into.
