Hornyphon's main field was producing radios. The company was biggest 1935-45 with 2500 employees, exporting from UK to Iraq, from Sweden to South Africa. Back then the name never was any problem, perhaps the word horny was not as common as now. The name Hornyphon itself derives from the surname of my great- grandfather, Friedrich Horny, not from the English word 'horny'. Because he was producing radios, he named the company Hornyphon. Horny in Austria is a rather common name, but now of course very funny for visitors from English speaking countries :-). As is the village 'Fucking' in Upper Austria, where you can often see tourists taking pictures of themselves in front of the Village welcoming plate.
