When you start a business do you own to use what you are selling contained by the first name? For example if I were selling toys should my permitted business name

For example if I were selling toys should my permitted business name hold the word toys in it or is it okay to use my initials as my licensed moniker and just hold a domain name near the word toy in it incase I required to sell something else down the chain.
You can use a combination of whatever words you want, provided they are not already registered by someone else
You can name it anything you want. If you're selling toys, you don't have to hold the word in the baptize. There are all kind of companies that don't use what they're selling in their christen. Personally I think it's easier at times if the describe at is at least somewhat tied to what you're selling. It make it stand out above other types of names. no you don't own to have your product surrounded by the name of you company ect
ie macdonalds,woolworths,ford
plenty of companys are name after their founder or watever

Answers:   You business entity name does not obligation to have the word "Toy" contained by it.

You might want to register a trademark for name you use within the domain name. A trademark is defined by the US Copyright and Trademark Office as;

"A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination of words, phrases, symbols or designs, that identify and distinguishes the source of the goods of one gala from those of others."
