For your app name, I'd suggest doing a Google search on the name. If nothing comes up, then you're probably safe, at least from the perspective of copyright infringement.

Using a name for the app is not a copyright issue. It may be a trademark issue or cyber squatting issue. Many years ago after considerable expense Exxon rolled out their new name and found a company in Arkansas already had that name. So, yes checking is worth the time.

Mark, is your rule of thumb then if a name exists then stay clear?

Calling an app about Pepsi and calling it Pepsi would be confusing to the user and wouldn't work for you because it it wasn't rejected by the app stores you'll receive a letter from Pepsi shortly.
