Eunomia, Colgate University is named after William Colgate, who founded the toothpaste company. It is still a trademarked name. If I named my character McDonald's it would be a violation but still be the founder's last name.

McDonald is a well established surname, a town in Ohio, common street name, college (not hamburger university) as well as a fast food joint among many other things.
There is a difference between someone named McDonald McClownburger, McDonald Soulcrusher and just McDonalds.
Common sense applies.
Colgate is an established surname, a town in Wisconsin, a common street name, a college as well as a toothpaste.
Is Colgates last name Pearlywhites or something?
