Stitchy,
New here, hope you don't mind an "newbies" two cents....
I have wrote alot on this topic. I work with a company who trains people to start their own business. I won't bore you, or post a whole article, but I will give you a couple tips and resources to help...

#1 Tip...Choose a name that represents your image. If you haven’t yet, take the time to choose 10 attributes that represent your company image. This step is important and every decision you make should be bounced against this list. Who you hire, your website, your business card, marketing material, and where you advertise should represent your image.

#2 Avoid spaces, hyphens and clever alternative spellings. This can cause customers to be confused and frustrated when trying to find you. Not to mention send them directly into your competitor’s hands if they have the most common spelling of your name. This goes for domains as well. Always try to get the .com of your name. .com is the most common domain extension and people will guess .com if they are referring you to others or trying to remember your website name.

I'm changing my name / image / business model too - it's so difficult making sure everything is changed, all the flyers I had done are now worthless, all the postcards, all the advertising, but i lost faith in the whole branding of my current one so in a couple of weeks i'll be trading under my new moniker.

Oh Yes, always costly to change your branding. The office I work at, they are moving to a new location. It means every flippin piece of paper needs to be changed. We are a training company and I think I branded to well. No exaggeration to say there is at least 50 forms that will need changing.

One of the girls at work told someone to write a list of what needs to be changed and give it to me, so I won't miss anything. He did. Gave me a piece of paper with one word..."everything".
