One thing you should not do if you don't have money to defend yourself is make potentially defamatory allegations ("[Company] just stole our name") when it could be "just a coincidence."
Because if it is just a coincidence, and [Company] can demonstrate that your allegation on a popular web forum has hurt its business, then [Company] can sue you for libel (the written form of slander).
You might consider posing your question in such a way that you do not actually name the company involved.
