I wouldn't have named my parts business that (I actually named mine something else entirely...way back), but I wouldn't let a silly name stop me from getting the goods. I would even buy from a shop called "Buying From Us Means You Accept Jesus Christ As Your Personal Lord and Savior Pedal Parts" if they had what I needed at a reasonable price with good service.
What specifically about the name offends you enough to not patronize them?

I realize it (the BLMS name) is a play on words swapping out stitches for switches, but even that one liner (was it a movie? is it a joke? I do not remember the specific origin) is couched in a less than equal framework. In short, I feel complicit in supporting the perpetuation of sexist language while I generally endeavor to cultivate equality. It's the whole voting with dollars thing.
