I’ve got a brand and character I’m waiting to start using. I haven’t thought of searching it on the ol’ google. I will be a bit annoyed when I see the results I think lol it’s probably got someone staking claim to it already.

The original name ideas for both of the characters I mentioned here were already closely related to something. Even as I worked closer to giving them official names I had to compromise. Captain Catastrophy was already used. Same with Horrible Herbert. I'm glad I checked though. Wouldn't want to be stepping on someone's toes. Also don't want my work to lead to someone else if searched. Being close but not exact can lead to that creators work being searched and consumers stumbling upon yours further down the list, which isn't a bad result.
I'm actually surprised, I just searched it and it wasn't staked a claim to exactly! It did pull a close match that, like you said, may give people that are searching the other phrase an additional thing to look at. I'm actually now pretty happy that I came up with the name with some help from a friend. I may start writing the series soon. I have to come up with some image to style it though, not my strong suit.
Plenty of digital artists and graphic designers around the platform. I do my graphic design freehand and often break the rules so I'm probably not much help but I know there are some more traditionalists out there who'd probably be more than happy to help.
