Branding causing nightmares

discussion. Anyone else running into using something common, such as a name, and not being able to list because of an alleged branding violation? I just ran into this myself listing a prayer card for the Orthodox Saint, Saint Olga of Alaska. According to Amazon, this is a branding violation. Looked up the Olga brand and they sell women's intimate clothing. Apparently the only issue is the name- but how is one to list something otherwise if I don't use her name? Nobody is going to search "female Alaskan Saint prayer card"- they'll use her name. So far the only suggestion has been to change the name and description which is kind of impossible. It'd be like someone making a "Francis" brand and then someone wants to list a St Francis of Assisi statue but has to change the name. Nobody would ever find the product. I understand protecting brands, but this is a little crazy as this woman was recently canonized. You are telling me people couldn't list their book for St. Olga because a women's intimate clothing line has the brand for Olga?
