Self employed - business name needed

[newfunahead]

So I'm starting a fitness class and will need a "company name" even through I will be self employed and not a company. I would need it for advertising purposes so I can upload on social media etc.

I choose a name then realized other people have the same name in other parts of england but are not registered with companies house. They also are not that close to me. I have always thought once I start this venture I would choose the name I have chosen.

Do you think I should still use this name and maybe add the city I work in or find a different unusual name?

Nothing stopping you using whatever name you like - if there is a similar business name elsewhere then tag the name of your town onto it.

eg: 'Newfunahead's Fitness Yourtown'

Thank you for your reply that's what I was thinking too :)
