Ummmm, yum! I have to say, the worst condo name in my eye is '1'. Terrible terrible name from a branding perspective. 'Heya, so I hear you bought a place downtown?' 'Yeah, I bought at 1' 'Bought one what?' 'No, the condo 1...' 'Gotcha, you bought a condo... which one?' Confusion ensues for a few more minutes... LOL, the Honeycrisp! Ummmm, yum!

I have to say, the worst condo name in my eye is ‘1′. Terrible terrible name from a branding perspective.

‘Heya, so I hear you bought a place downtown?’
‘Yeah, I bought at 1′
‘Bought one what?’
‘No, the condo 1…’
‘Gotcha, you bought a condo… which one?’

Confusion ensues for a few more minutes…
