RE: Bounty: Need help to find a name for a business

well do you want to go with something from history like
Helen of Troy

but in all honesty I like

Lady Godiva

a little history on who she was copied from google.

Lady Godiva was the noble and beautiful wife of Leofric, Earl of Mercia. She was known for her generous donations to churches and charities. According to a 11th century story, Godiva was annoyed by the heavy taxes Leofric had levied on the citizens of Coventry. After Godiva asked Leofric to lower the taxes repeatedly, Leofric agreed to her demands only if she rode naked through the town on a horse. Enthusiastic to help the people of Coventry, she stripped naked and rode on the horse with only her long flowing hair to cover herself. Before leaving, she ordered the town people to stay indoors and not to peek. But, one man named Tom couldn’t resist himself and peeked to get an eyeful of her beauty. Upon doing so, Tom was struck blind. After the nude ride was over, she demanded the promise set by her husband. True to his words, Earl of Mercia agreed to lower the taxes. While most of the historians feel that Lady Godiva riding on a horse naked was a fiction, but Godiva was a real person in the 11th century world. Godiva along with her husband is known to have set up the Benedictine monastery in Coventry.
