Finding the Right Name

Looking for a name that isn’t being used is tedious at the least.

I have used the Dawghouse since I opened this site in 24′. It has served me well but with my site now called peaceful-threads.com in my domain name I am finding there are more than one bar and restaurant using the dawghouse dive name. That means I am breaking trademark laws using this. I now have a dilemma as to what to have as a header on my site as I don’t need any lawsuits over infringement.. I also need to find a name for my artist when I make my songs go live. I had looked at and been using ‘The Reel Rebel’ but again using the USPTO I’ve found it registered too.

Back to the drawing board. I guess that since I have peaceful-threads already registered as my domain I will have to design a header that reflects this and ties into my blog posts. That is my next project starting after this post is written today. As far as a band name I am open to any suggestions.

It’s a little sad that I have built this site around the dawghouse concept but hey, construction is my middle name here so I think I’ll zone out and repave this site once again. Will I totally abandoned my persona of ‘Ernie Dawg’, absolutely not!

This is not meant to be a rant, more like a learning curve where I need to slow down and learn to check out the legal aspects of names for commercial use.

Have a great day my friends!

    This is a frustrating kind of setback, but you’re actually catching it at the right time, before it turns into a legal headache.

    Since you already have Peaceful-Threads.com, leaning into that as the main identity might make things simpler and more cohesive long-term.

    Peaceful Threads

    Quiet Stitch

    Dawghouse (as a legacy persona, not the main brand)

    Thread & Static

    The Dawg Within (if you want to keep a hint of it)

    Soft Revolt

    Worn Signals

    You don’t have to fully abandon what you built, you can treat “Ernie Dawg” as the character, and let the site name evolve around it.

    It feels like a reset, but it can also be a cleaner foundation going forward.
