Confused should I change my business name?

Asked Sep 29, 2009, 11:09 PM — 11 Answers
Hi, I'm a new member here. I have a little trouble & I hope you guys can help me. Thanks in advance. I am an accessory designer and have a small company. I have that company for over a year now and the name...then I have discovered a new accessory company a little older than mine that has the same name. Like mine is BARKY theirs is BARKY & GIL. Because they are partners. And the other designers real name is barky. They are a bit ahead of me as they are bigger company. (They have more money) we both have online store, though I've just started, the price point is about the same ans we graduated at the same school. So this really bothers me. I love my company name and I've started establishing it. Registered the business, have a website etc. And now I want to change the name, its sad. When I search barky accessories for example their company will pop out, barky bracelet, their company will pop again and mine will be a few clicks away on the lower page or something....
While I am not that established yet do you think I should change my name now? Will it pose any problems in the long run? Confusion etc.? It will be a bit costly for me too esp right now..that I don't earn as much yet. I'm really sad about this but I want to do the right thing for the best of my budding company.
Or shall I just keep the name and work hard to set myself apart and compete o a company bigger than mine right now in hope that I will be bigger than them...I don't know I'm really confused. And honestly its hard to find a new name that matches my theme. Thanks all and sorry that's long.

Okay, I can see that you're no longer on here, farahway7!

Would you please give to me the link to your website? You could post it here as a tiny url so that it would be advertising in any way.

Thanks!
