I use my name, simple really.
But yeah search the domain as the wise Undox2 stated.
Isn't it a US company though??

Canadian. Snugs used to work there, and he brought it to my attention that my name was not original.
I'm looking to change the name and get some lush new stationery!

Enter response:
your name is always good...
... search domains such as designByYourLastNight.comhttp://www.designbyross.com gets you to me... I llc'ed (kind of like incorporating) myself as Ross Media... then made the same dummy move of realizing I didn't check the URLs...
... but using your last name in some sort of way is also smart - the client won't forget your name (and of course... that can always backfire).

Ring directory enquiries and ask them for company X
my company is called THE FOREST
There were:
Forest design
Forest creative
Forest signs and artYou get the idea
Depending if you are limited or not - thats when the hassle begins...

just read your question again and to be honest... what is original anymore!?!?
Call it what you want mate
9 times out of ten when helping people with company names - they tend to be influenced wheter or not .com exists etc or if they can add words to the orignal name for the website
eg
accident
myaccident
accidentstudio
youraccident
big accidentyou got the idea

In the US, not sure about CA, but when you incorp, llc or whatever, That is controlled by the state or province I think in your case. Most states have a searchable database. Like this one:
https://esos.state.nv.us/SOSServ…Once you registered and legal the name is legally yours in that state. Then i guess you could trademark it so other people can't use it. You can't register Ford or Apple or something. Has to be distinguisable from other brands... hope that helps

'mule dance'

We simply called ourselves by our first names... seems to be a popular solution;

make up a word, or mix together a couple of root words, possibly with altered spelling (without being too Def Leppard about it).
