How about using a programmer style variables like badCompanyName. You don’t have to be a mathematician. Sure, I can totally appreciate concise names, but some times you have to use longer names to avoid collisions.
I prefer [insertconpanynamehere] but in this case name and shame almost seems more appropriate.
