Shakespeare? Tsk, tsk. Surely that's irrelevant. Character names,
unless they are trademarks like Dirk Pitt(TM), are treated like book
titles---not copyrightable.

If your company can be identified with the major elements of
Fortinbras' character, then go ahead and call your company
Fortinbras Associates. Those who don't recognize the name
won't care. Those who DO recognize the name will
immediately know that you and your associates are young,
ambitious, and insanely obsessed with revenge.

It's called 'marketing' <grin>.
