Love your correspondence, but changing names is actually par for the course in early startup land. I did the same when we encountered a USPTO trademark objection. Better to drop the name than fight an uphill battle -- better use of your precious money resources. Besides, think of it this way -- why would you want a name you couldn't get major Google search SEO / a twitter handle, facebook page, and other benefits? Sharing a name with another company is more hassle than its worth, even if there wasn't a trademark conflict. Some ideas for you. Try reverse names: Nedloh is Holden backwards. Or your county is Penobscot, which has an interesting (almost) backwards name, minus the P: Tocsbone.
