Heaviside would've been decent, especially for a truck and ATV company.
- daveguy 10y agoHeaviside would be a very negative connotation for trucks and ATVs. Most people would think heavy-side or top-heavy, which is the opposite of what you want a truck to be, and not Heaviside the engineer who lent his name to the punniest function in mathematics.

- Avshalom 10y agoOr they might think heavy-industry or heavy-duty, which would be a good/neutral connotation. ...and heavy has stopped looking like a real word now.

- kenrikm 10y agoHeavy in relation to trucks is usually linked with "heavy duty" which is a good thing. Many truck manufacturers use "heavy duty" in their branding.
