From a CBA article:
"Selection of the names to be used in a law firm is not a haphazard exercise. When I formed a partnership in 1976 with John Head, Craig Carver, and Pamela Ray, we hired a consultant to help us order the names in the firm. We were told that putting the name "Head" after any other name could cause confusion (for example, Ray Head or Moye Head), and the name "Head" really should be at the "head" of the firm name. So we started with "Head." The second name had to be something that would not be descriptive, so "Head Carver" was out. "Head Moye" was acceptable. Because three of the names had only one syllable, the third name should be the dual-syllabic "Carver." Thus, the firm was named "Head, Moye, Carver & Ray." We were satisfied that the consultant had given us good advice for the $750 we paid (and in 1976 dollars, that was expensive advice)."
Clearly, the answer is "Head, Carver, Moye & Ray."
