Re: Trademarks

Assuming the names in question are used - or will be used - in connection with a product or service, and pending the results of a comprehensive trademark search to ensure the names are not already registered or in use in your type(s) of goods/services, most likely yes.

It's not clear to me why one name would be associated with two companies; you should discuss this situation with the trademark attorney you retain to perform a comprehensive TM search and register the mark(s) for you.
