I'm looking for some advice, and this is probably going to be hard to follow. If anyone would like to help I will gladly PM them the names in question. Here's the problem:

I regged a name the other day (a six-letter dotcom). Before regging it I had checked out its meaning, and found that it was an obscure but real word. Having regged it, I checked it out again and an innocuous word kept coming up referring to the first part of my name , although there is one extra letter in my word to the one that was coming up.

I checked to see if my name spelled the way the first part was coming up was available and it was (is). I was about to reg it also, when I put it into the search engine. And up came a reference to something horrible, that is, another spelling for the way the whole name would sound without the extra letter (it would be a five-letter pronounceable dotcom). Am I confusing you?

Anyway, my question is: will the name I've regged be affected by the sound of this shorter word, and should I just delete it? Or would it still have a value for branding. It really doesn't remind me of the other, shorter word, but maybe it would others.
