Every time you get a little bit of exposure, and they mention your name, that doesn't help someone find you as easily as naming your guitars Alan Hamley Guitars or similar.
Using you name adds that personal, intimate vibe. I get people call every day and when they ask who they are speaking to, or I tell them "just say you spoke to Perry when you come in" that get all excited because they spoke to the 'head guy'. People like that. Otherwise, they are 'just speaking to some dude at Pinnacle'...
I think your name is fine, in fact it has a ring to it. I had a lot of trouble deciding on a name because we all feel our own names aren't 'cool', or suitable. People have trouble pronouncing mine, and half the people cant spell it... Fact is, it doesnt matter what your name is, it's fine. Really, you'll be the only person that ever worries about it.
It was someone who said 'if you are proud enough to put your work out there, be proud enough to put your name on it' that really nailed it for me. And then when I thought about it, how many well respected brands are out there that AREN'T named after then original main builder/owner? How many are?
