short answer is "yes"
I agree. In many programs or internet places you are to write your name
and your company or organisation. That is just an extra identification.
There can be more people with the same name, so you just invent a
company or organisation name which makes it easier to identify you.
I often use the company name Utopia, for example, it makes it easier
for people to remember me, Roger at Utopia. But there is no real
company behind it.
I actually own a real company too, an electronics company, but I never
use that in internet identification, that is kind of private matters.
However, you should consider having a company name - it does not need to
be registered or anything...it can be anything you can make up (but
avoid having the same as large corporations for obvious reasons)
In many countries you are not allowed to use a stockholder company
title unless you really own one, so do not add stuff like "limited",
"Trading", or other official acronyms or titles.
But just a word like "Drawings" is safe, it doesn't say anything about
the legal status of it. It could be a club you have made up with your
brother, or a fantasy name you like to use, or whatever. Or use your
initials as company name, MF, for example.
Or MF Drawing, for example.
Don't use names like "Volvo and Co limited", or "MF Trading company"
because that could be illegal to use.
