Name for a smurfy homepage

Hello,

my family and me are working on a database for my smurf collection with all datas and pictures of every smurf..... I know this will be a big project for over 1600 smurf-items but my husband and my children will help :D .

And this database should be the base for my own smurfy homepage.... next year - I hope. I'm thinking about the name of the homepage and a read that some words are legally protected by Schleich, peyo or whoever.....

Is someone here who knows the the "rules" or have a link where I could inform me? I know that smurf, Schlumpf and so on is not allowed..... but that is it. I considered to write an email to Schleich or is this the wrong way...... maybe I'm to carfeful :-?

Thank you

you should be ok as long as you do not put anything related to the word smurf in any language in it :D

As far as I know, none of us who have a website ever contacted Imps/Lafig (they hold the copyright to the smurfs) to ask for permission for a name of our website.
