Cliche Bank Names

Cliche is defined as an overused expression of idea. A lot of classic sayings have become cliche due to popularity. One cliche, that no one really thinks of, is around due to our banks.
Just a thought:
As I drive down the main street in town. I pass by many wonderful banking opportunities. It doesn't take long to see the commonality. YOU WERE THE FIRST. Banks have this annoying habit of throwing in the word, "First" in their titles. It isn't something that a lot of people notice. It just seems common. However, this makes me really curious how many other banks are trying to name themselves the same thing? There is one bank, however, that jumped the gun. It didn't even wait for there to be a first or second. I am of course talking about the Fifth Third Bank.

The Fifth Third Bank waits for no one! Every time I see one of these Fifth Third Banks I chuckle. I can't contain myself. It's name sort of indicates that there were four other third banks before it. Fifth Third Bank could just be called the 7th first bank.
