I'm helping a friend who runs Quizzo each week and he's looking to try a category of naming the company of this stock ticker. For example, he would say MSFT and people would write down Microsoft. I wanted to see if anyone could tell me tricky ones where the name is different then the ticker. I'll help him out in taking out too obscure or too small companies nobody would ever get.

Ones I thought up of off the top of my heard were:
GLW - Corning
RIG - Transocean
C - Citigroup
SHLD - Sears

Thanks!
