This presupposes quite a bit. But there are a number of issues with it, some which should've been clear from this thread, some which it's fair you didn't know, and some which weren't fair assumptions on your part.What do you disagree with?
- It's not a school in my town, but a neighboring town. This would likely be worse for my integration to the community than helpful. It also would be confusing because people from the neighboring town might see the name and think I'm at that school on that road.
- There's another TKD school in my area that has an animal-based name. I do not want to be associated with them in any way, either as an ally or a rival. (The Master of that school has a lot of red flags, and a lot of allegations in the Google reviews). I do not want to look like I'm trying to compete with them. I want to stand on my own. Also, their name is based on our town's high school mascot.
- This presupposes that I will have a working relationship with the school. While not a bad idea, it's not a great to go in headfirst into something before that's been established. If I name myself after the school with no affiliation, that can cause more drama than it solves. I cannot control whether or not they want to affiliate with me.
