'Buy my Games' Suggestive name.

'Buy my Games' Suggestive name.

This made me laugh, because not too far from where I live there is a bike store called "Buy My Bikes". They run commercials occasionally on the local stations and they are the most annoying commercials I have ever seen.
However I've heard that they're service is awesome and everyone who goes there loves the shop.

As for the OP's question, how about 'The Company Name I Wanted Was Already Taken'?

I've yet to see a dedicated bike shop last for long that didn't have top notch service from people who really knew what they were talking about. Guess it is an industry that either you either put the effort in to provide the best possible service, or you cut your own legs out from under you.

Hi.

Acronyms are the easiest way to come up with names.

Blizzard was once known as [font="arial, sans-serif"]Silicon & Synapse, if it's any consolation. [/font]

CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet?

Think about it this way! Apple was taken... whether they knew it or not, they've used it. Got big and suddenly some other company who has the same name wanted to sue them for it. They paid the royalities for it, but since you are big... that was short change and won't hurt your business. (Both companies still exist)

This is a slightly different issue. At the time that Apple Computers started they were JUST a computer company. Both companies operated in different markets that meant that there would be little to no chance of confusion between the two companies.

If you own a machine shop call "Dream Machines", and I own a game company called "Dream Machines", and someone comes into my office asking how many pistons I can fabricate in a week for them,... I'll point them in your direction (assuming I know you) and cannot steal business from you by taking the job they originally planned to give you.

Technically we could sue each other over the names, but the first to go there needs to have a strong reason to do so or risk being smacked with the whole frivolous law suite bit. For instance if you had the machine shop and had been known for making bike parts, and I started a bike shop under the same name after the fact, then you could have grounds to sue me if you were moving to expand to a dedicated bike division with its own front shop. However, if you had the machine shop, and I opened a wedding cake shop under the same/similar name, and you later moved into my market, then you would have a harder time defending your rights to the name.

It can be a tricky line to walk, but there are thousands of examples of different businesses operating under the same name around the world. If you can be sure you're not going to come into market conflicts and are willing to back pedal and do a quick name change while saying you're sorry, then it can come out as not so big of a gamble.

You could also just pick a name that no one would ever, ever want.

Sexual Assaults, Inc.
Pedophilia Partners.
Explosive Diarrhea International.

And so on.

i had thought of a name Fun-ko

Just switch out the n and the k and you'll be golden.
