Set up S-Corp... company name ?

Last night I set up an S-Corp and obtained a tax ID, with our goal being primarily flipping and short term investing.

But what about securing a company/business name to use? Was the name I entered in the S-Corp process secured in my name? Ive reviewed the process for LLC's and Doing Business As, neither of which apply with a S-Corp. We'd rather not do business in our own name, and are looking to get some business cards, free website and some other materials.

How should I go about making sure the name is secured or getting it in my possession?

Go do deals. You're wasting valuable time dreaming about what it's gonna be like. The name will come to you at the right moment, but it's only an excuse for deciding to decide.

Your corp can file a fictitious business name at any later date.

It's ok to be upset with me now. You'll understand later.
