I don’t think you’d get a trademark for that name…

Why not? 'Apple' is a trademark right?
Apple is a distinct name in that industry. You can call yourself Apple and sell toddler toys without violating any trademark. You can’t call yourself “X in Y city” because it’s not distinct in that industry unless you literally are the only unique one in that city.
