Popular British supermarket chain Iceland was very nearly called something else before its founders settled on its current name.
The store's managing director, Richard Walker recently revealed how there were multiple names in the running.
He said: "‘It was actually my late mum, Lady Rhianydd Walker, who chose the name. My dad was keen on Penguin or Igloo."

This comes after Iceland and the Government of Iceland entered a third round of legal proceedings over the use of the name when selling products in the EU.
Discussing the case with the Metro, Walker said: "I am sure people understand that we do have a business and identity to protect.
"We have only ever tried to prevent other food and retail companies from using the name Iceland, when it could lead to confusion over the brand.
"We have never tried to stop Icelandic businesses from using Iceland descriptively to promote their products.
"We’ve traded under the name Iceland since 1970 and have always taken it to mean land of ice rather than any reference or insinuation to Iceland as a country.
"This legal battle hasn’t taken any toll on us other than time and money. If we lose this round when the decision is made then we’ll appeal to the European Court of Justice.

"The reality is that this case will have no bearing on our stores, so I understand people may ask what the point of it all is.
"The reason I’m continuing to fight the case is that I believe it’s about showing our colleagues and customers that the history of our brand as a family-run British success story is important and it’s something I’m willing to stand up for."
Iceland first secured its trademark in 2014 but the Icelandic Government was quick to lodge a legal challenge in 2016.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
