But maybe your right. From a marketing point of view there is something to say for keeping your family name when that name provides most of the value. (like laywers etc.) Our company did the same which may seem weird for a factory, but my dad was part of the product (or service) having said that I think it's important to think about what the "thing" is that your doing. names and signs are secondary. what does your "presence" say about you? go from there.

Do you get comments from Dutch clients on that? Or questions like: why don't you write in Dutch? Hey Maarten,

For now I don't really push a company name, besideds on invoices. For my webpresence I've streamlined it into being recognizable as @mdbraber everywhere. It has drawbacks (everybody knows you're just 1 person) but also is very easy to grasp and recognizable. But I still like good company names I can spend weeks thinking of a good one ;-) Recognizable struggle for anyone who is his/her “own company”.
