X Factor winners Little Mix could well be facing a second battle over their name, just months after raving to stop calling themselves Rhythmix.
The girls, who formed a group at bootcamp, had chosen the same name as a music charity and were forced to change their name to avoid a legal battle over trademarks.
Choosing to call themselves Little Mix, everything seemed fine, but now a band called Little Minx is worried the similarities between the two names could cause confusion.
Little Minx, led by singer Nick Smith, was created four months before last year’s X Factor started.
“
On the night it was announced that Little Mix had chosen their name, someone gave me a call to say ‘someone’s nicked your name’,” he said. “So we registered ourselves as a company, Little Minx UK, just to leave no doubt.”
However rather than threaten legal action, Nick revealed the confusion was helping his group get off the ground.
“I must confess we’ve had a few more hits on You Tube since Little Mix were formed and it’s done us no harm at all,” he explained.
And he cheekily added: “I predict Little Minx will be around far longer than Little Mix will be.”
Haha, Little mix is soooo much better !!
