It's probably not a good idea to use someone else's trademark in your trade name. For example, the Nike Sporting Goods Company isn't going to be happy if you open the Des Moines Nike Sporting Goods store. On the other hand, it can't do much if you call your restaurant "D.M. Nike Nachos" because it isn't in the food business and doesn't (last time I looked) own the mark for that class of goods and/or services. You also don't want to give the impression that you're a city department or agency or that there is city funding in your project. Check with an intellectual property attorney in your area for advice on the specific name you have in mind.
