If someone started a blog site called “Tumbler” or a gay dating app called “Grinder” you could totally understand the conflict, couldn’t you. Listen, I went through this. I started a site whose name had a word that was similar to a famous trademark, and got a very similar cease and desist letter. I chose to change the name, and be candid about it, and I’ve been successful with it ever since. Just my $0.02, but I’d choose a new name you like and then register and trademark it like I did.
