Summary/Abstract: My paper analyses English names of pubs, clubs and cafés found in Baia Mare and in Timişoara, Romania, from a sociolinguistic perspective. While discussing aspects ranging from linguistic patterns (grammatical constructions, lexical choices) to cultural behaviour, I will try to highlight the various ways in which English has influenced the field of commercial onomastics in Romania.
