    Default LRNA love letter

    I received a letter from LR suggesting that I may want to change my business name as there may be the possibility by some potentional new Rover customers that I am also a dealership, and we wouldn't want to have them becoming confused.
    After the laughter died down, I asked there attorney if she would like to come by for lunch sometime and see my shop, just to make it clear that the likelyhood of mistaking my old chicken coop for a dealership was unlikely.
    Haven't received a reply.
    But I did have an attorney confirm that they do own the TM to Land Rover, Range Rover, Range, and Rover.
    I asked if Rover's Lab would be acceptable. Nope.
    Neither is RVRLAB. Apparently, "rvr" is a common abbreviation for "Rover".
    Well, I had no idea.
    So I searched for it. And the top 10 common names for RVR does not include Land Rover ( or any variation of it). Actually, "river" was the most common item associated with the abbreviation rvr.
    So, you guys a sharp lot, what names would you come up with knowing that you can't use Rover or Range Rover in the business name? I can call it ABC 4x4, Land Rover Specialists, as long as it's not used in the company name.

    Just as a space makes the words" as shole" not the same as the other word how about "Rov ER Labs" or to maintain the sound of your buisiness how about "Roberlabs?"

    "Rov ver labs?" R0(that's a zero folks)verlabs? Overlabs? Or my favorite but longish one then I quit- "Lamb Rozer Labs"

    What can they really do? Why not let them take the next step?

    RoverTracks went to RovingTracks.

    How about "Landy Lab" ?

    Does this mean you have to change your name as well, since it is essentially ROVER backwards, with a T on the end?

    I like Solihull Service. That has a nice ring.

    Frannies Trannies is still my favorite.
