Who told you that names are supposed to be short and distinctive?

My common sense and probably every marketing book in existance. Think about the internet brand names that you can recall from the top of your head. How many of them are longer than 8 letters?

Security Situation is a pretty damn good name if you're starting a security company.

Most certainly not. It's generic and unsuggestive. That kind of name may work for an information page ("Security situation in your neighbourhood") but not for most businesses.
