But why Trelawney?
But why Trelawney?Terex sounded a lot tougher and more macho. Besides, Trelawney is difficult to say and remember. Could the company not have found a simple descriptive name that reflects the type of business they are in? Maybe something with a northern Ontario place name in it?
Trelawney, even though it is a fine and respected old family name from Cornwall, sounds British and not Canadian. And it sounds a bit sissyish - sort of like naming your fierce fighting force the Princess Patricia's Light Infantry. (OK, now let me have it all you Brits.) Maybe the company is operating on the theory expressed in Johnny Cash's song "A boy named Sue," if you recall the lyrics.
I hope this doesn't hurt the company too much.
