Five Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a Business Name:

1. Not researching your name: Before choosing a name for your business, make sure to research it to make sure it’s not already taken. You don’t want to have to change your business name down the road.

2. Not considering trademark issues: A business name could be trademarked by another company. Be sure to check the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office database to make sure your chosen name is not already registered.

3. Not making sure your name is memorable: You want people to remember your business name, so make sure it’s unique and creative.

4. Not making sure your name is relevant: Choose a name that speaks to what your business does.

5. Not testing the name: Before you decide on the name, run it by family and friends to see what they think. Ask them if they find it memorable and relevant.

It is very good to research the name because it won't be nice if someone else bears the company'a name and also does the same business

Good points though. These days people do not really take time out to search and research for a good name for their business, they simply use the first name that comes to their mind.

Before you choose a business name you must make proper research about that particular name. You need to determine if other people have started using it

It is a very important to carry out proper research on the business name to pick.
If we are going to make it technical, we can do a business name research. There are times that a simple one can be more appealing and easy to be remembered by the clients. For me, it is a good way to have the business name.

Using short a memorable names is always important and necessary if you want to choose a business name. If you use very long names many people may not remember it.

That is why you don't go for unnecessary sophistication and grammar when choosing a business name. It is not good for branding. Something catchy and appealing should be chosen as a business name.

Registering your business is very important , this helps to cater for your business name and you will be duly informed if someone else has registered the business name before you , you need to do this before going more deeper into your business.
