Reading between the lines given the complete lack of similarity between the names, it seems to me you are grasping at straws because your own business model is not viable. If I were an investor, I would really question the sustainability of your startup given you are having to use vc money to shut down competitors as opposed to building constructively a sustainable business. Just my 2 cents.

Um, WhosHere has over 5 million downloads I don't think they asked them to change their name to save their business model.
Since when has number of free downloads in the app store been a measure of business model viability? The fact is they are pursuing destructive means to grow their business, as an investor I would much prefer to have founders who were investing my monies in a constructive way especially given the generic and dissimilar app names. I mean how good a product do they have if they feel that the name of their competitors app is having such a material impact on their business?
