What happens when the name you give to your game already exists and you upload the game to various game websites? How will that affect what turns up on google searches? Everytime I think of a name for my game, there is already a game with the exact same name.

You definitely need to keep it the same. Maybe you can give us a game description/the names you have tried to use and maybe we can help you name it?

well if you can't submit a game on Newgrounds if it has the same name as one that was already submitted, solving that problem.

No big deal. I've played 4 completely unrelated games called aurora.

Unless it's a story driven game I'd say don't worry about other games with the same name. Although it's probably better to come up with something unique. If you continue to fail, just make up a word like "Snigeldwaffetpracz 3000". I guarantee you'll think of a title that doesn't already exist.
