When Subbuteo wanted to patent their game of table football, they wanted to call it "hobby". This wasn't permitted, so they named it after the bird, scientfic name Falco subbuteo (Buteo buteo being the common buzzrd).

Very interesting Chris!

Thanks Chris. I learn something new every day on here :)
