i was just wondering...my mother and i are having a debate about that...i mean, pizza hut is a name, right? what if i wanted to name my business, say the chocolate chip factory (it's probably an actual business but i am using it as an example)

someone please help me

well why not?

we got the cheesecake factory....taco bell....when i launch my cookie site it will be "Holland cookie co."...already got the domain...yay!

my current shop is called the Little Cake Company...been operating legally for almost 7 years.

hope you wagered some $$$$ LOL!
