    I don’t know if that’s a great idea from a trademark standpoint. That might count as a “descriptive trademark”.

    Descriptive marks

    A descriptive mark is a term with a dictionary meaning which is used in connection with products or services directly related to that meaning.[5] An example might be Salty used in connection with saltine crackers or anchovies. Such terms are not registrable unless it attains a ‘secondary meaning’, such that the mark is so distinctive that people associated it with specific brand name in the marketplace.
