What's in a Name - AZUR?

To make a long story short, AZUR restaurant & patio took Azure (a blue sky or purplish blue) from the English dictionary and dropped the "e" to make it our own. Years later, we often see that our old friend - Spellchecker often corrects the spelling to "Azure" when it's used in print media. Not a big deal - what's in a name? We'd rather be known for our innovative cuisine. Plus, the vast majority of our loyal customer base easily make the connection to AZUR. For those of you that are slightly confused if you see "Azure" mentioned in reference to a restaurant in Lexington, Kentucky, they meant to write AZUR. We don't even want to discuss the pronunciation variations.
