JOHN DAVIS HAYWOOD JR.

JOHN DAVIS HAYWOOD JR. is so plainly a personal-name company that the first question is not polish but what kind of business sits behind it. By our assessment, that makes it workable for a one-person practice or a family-run outfit, where the name itself is the point, but thin for anyone trying to read the company from the outside. Its strength is that it sounds formal without trying too hard; its weakness is that it gives no clue about the field, so the customer has to look elsewhere for the real pitch. In everyday use, that means this name acts more like a signature than a description. Compared with a descriptive trading name, it is less helpful and more private, and the version with JR. makes that personal feel even stronger.
