"a company which name is…" or "there is a company whose name is…"?

which one is correct?

I know I need to use 'whose' when the preceding noun is living thing.
For example, there is a boy whose job is a teacher.

Best Answer

The following are correct:

  • A company whose name is ...
  • A company, of which the name is ...
  • A company, the name of which is ...

...although in many cases the following might sound more natural:

  • A company named ...
  • A company called ...
  • A company by the name of ...

The following are wrong:

  • A company which name ...
  • A company which the name ...
