Is it proper to Use National Names for Business?

What do you think of using names said to represent national integrity for commercial purposes?
A name like www.asorockhost.com or www.asorock.com or www.obasanjo.com.
I know  Former president Nelson Mandela had gone to court to stop his prison Number beign used for business.South africans believe
that was offensive.Do you think such names should be toyed with?

I guess it is safer to avoid them if possible or to be on the safe side have the business name duly registered with the CAC so that you can defend the name anything there is a problem.

I once got a letter sent to my lawyer concerning using Lagosestores as a business website name, they claimed the name was enjoying Lagos state patronage so I did what was ideal in such circumstance, avoid the name completely and move everything to a duly registered business name with the CAC - Just Web Services.

What's in a name anyway? Nothing if you ask me, as long as it is easy and simple to remember by those that are of interest to you.
