Unlike 37signals, though, it’s not the intrinsic meaning of the name that’s a mystery. We know that Jackson Fish Market “should” refer to a place that sells fish and that’s either on Jackson St. or owned and operated by someone named Jackson. The mystery comes from how this could possibly relate to software development. Is the company located in a building that used to be occupied by a fishmonger? (That was The Name Inspector’s first guess). [...] [...] This is another example of an enigmatic name, one that works largely by playing on people’s curiosity, like the name 37signals.
