Copyright is implied; it doesn't cost anything.

You're thinking of trademark.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Sure - but generally if you actually engage in a legal tussle, you're going to need some proof of when you came up with the idea.

Which is why official registration with the US copyright office is a good idea.

Yes, but it's illegal to require formal registration; once a work is "published" it is automatically copyrighted by the author.

Regardless, business and product names aren't something you can copyright; this falls under trademark law.

You need to register, ie with Company's House, to get your trademark.
