Message no. 1 Recently I've been trying to come up with a decent name for a second tier
corporation that operates out of Australia. It's currently written in
under the name of BHP, because that's the corp I wanted to roughly base it's
interests and capacities on.... I'm fresh out of idea, though.

Basically I need a couple of likely English/Australian names for the
corporation. Any takers?

On a related trivial note;

Yamatetsu translates to 'Iron Mountain' or 'Mountains of Iron', And
Mitsu (out of Mitsuhama) is 'Three', or 'Tri'... anyone know what Hama means?

(My Japanese is a little rusty)

Hama means 'Shore'. Course that's out of **&*'s module OA4 "Blood of the
Yakuza" so take it with a grain of salt.
