The Italian Job - Naming

 

The naming process consisted of the syndicate members submitting names, initially a list of 20 were proposed by Mike Perkins, then the other syndicate members selected any favourite ones from the list and/or added some suggestions of their own, these were then included a short list. This short list was then voted on with a 5% share holding being worth 1 vote. The result was a majority vote in favour of "THE ITALIAN JOB".  

 

Albert then proposed that the syndicate name would be "THE SELF PRESERVATION SOCIETY" subject to any other options being tabled. This was then amended to "SELF PRESERVATION SYNDICATE".

Here are the emailed comments from the Syndicate

 

Albert Bosma

With the balance of the syndicate, 'The Italian Job' is fairly appropriate. My second and third votes would be Pat The Cat and Cat Gotcha Tongue.

Pat Vinaccia

I like 'Pat the Cat' obviously!!

Keith Robinson

The Italian Job works for me. Well done !!

Peter Heale

Yes the Italian job is good. With the lack of hair in our syndicate I think Brazilian Boxer has merits!

Heather Weller

My votes for "Cat Gotcha Tongue"

Peter Chadwick

What about "Kittyhawk" or "Kitty Hawk" I'm OK with "The Italian Job" but in my view would be best shortened to "Italian Job" or perhaps "Italiana".

Peter Archer

Heres a few thoughts Silky Red Panties and syndicate called Not enough lei's syndicate.

Emilio Esposito

I think it has to be Italian job, good choice
Luigi Muollo The Italian Job

Christina Trent

The Italian Job
Mike Perkins

If it's the "The Italian Job" ... then... my name is Michael Caine,

"You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off".
