Hi,

I've got a name in mind that I think it'd go well with the philosophy of a brand I'm thinking about starting, let's say it's called "Artist". However the name it's too broad to not be swallowed by a million other search results. Would I be able to avoid that if I added "Apparel" next to it? So informally the brand could still be called Artist, but for SEO purposes it'd be Artist Apparel? Should I just aim for something a bit less broad/popular? Sorry if it's too silly a question, but would like to know what you think.

Thanks!

Obviously just my opinion, but that's what I would think along the lines of
