Intel

Intel founded by Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce was initially named Moore Noyce. But the name did not sound good in reference to electronics because Noyce sounded like 'noise', which is associated with electronic interference. The company then changed its name to NM electronics for a year before settling on INTegrated ELectronics or Intel for short. But he Intel trademark had to be bought out from a hotel chain that had he name from the beginning.
