I have a name that I want to give my new product. That name is already trademarked for an unrelated use. Is it a bad idea to go ahead and use that product name? Is a trademark comprehensive enough that I should just pick a different name?

is it google-able. If you google the name, will you show up easy? That's what having a name is all about right?

You also don't want to get sued and be forced to change your name.

Registering a trademark doesn't cost that much. You can simply apply to register a trademark for your product for your usage and see whether the government will grant you a trademark for that usage.

The cost depends on the number of class and countries you want to register it in. For reference: There are 45 internationally agreed on classes.
