Hey everybody,  
Here’s the situation: I’m building my first complete website and I was thinking of calling it **B.A.-Web** ([BA-Web.com](http://BA-Web.com)). B.A. are my intials and once I have some more experience to add to my resume the site is to become my portfolio. The problem is that a [B.A. Web](http://www.bawebdesign.com/) already exists, well actually it’s [BAWebDesign.com](http://BAWebDesign.com). So tell me, would it be too much of a “coincidence” if I went ahead and named my site BA-Web? :beam:

\*Edit:When I came up with BA-Web I honestly had no idea that that site existed, I should’ve done a search. :-/ \*

Yes people might get suspicious of the similarities. You could try thinking up a company name of your own and calling it [CompanyNameHereDesign.com](http://CompanyNameHereDesign.com).

The problem with that is that I’m not looking to start a company or a company name at that. It’s just supposed to be my portfolio, so having my initials made sense.

Yeah, that makes better sense. I would use my last name, but 1/10 people can actually pronounce it let alone remember how to spell it. :huh: But I think that’s what I’m gonna have to do.

Thanks to the both of you. :thumb:
