what a name

heard this in lecture today......(the following is unsubstantiated)

how did Sony get its name? before Sony was called Sony, it was known as TTT (Tokyo Telecommunication T-something). trying to break into the american market with the name TTT was not very easy as it did not stick easily in people's mind. while on one of his trips to new york, one of the co-founders of Sony saw the term NY and fell in love with it. when he went back to japan, he was lavishing about new york and went, "everything is so nice, so good , SO...NY!"

singaporeans love their acronyms. from ecp to hdb, acronyms are very much a part of our lives. ever wondered what some of the acronyms really stand for?
