We once had a situation like this...
Lets say I WANTED my business to be called 'The Monkey'...
The Monkey wasnt available as a URL so I figured out what was best.
I realised that I could register 'The Monkey Studio Ltd' and so I purchased 'www.themonkeystudio.co.uk'
I then find out that there is website (4 years later) called 'www.the-monkeystudio.co.uk'. We phone him up and ask them if they are essentially us and they say yes!!!
I sued the cunt!
Moral of the story - people may think you are 'passing off' as them and may sue you...
There is nothing wrong with 'surnameandsurname' in my opinion...
Are you really going to get more work because you are caleed something like 'stratosphere' or 'boink'... Does anyone really care?
I think you would be a fool to call yourself a name that already exists in different countries in the design world...
Hope you sort it out mate...
