We want to register a name for our startup and use a similar name to our competitor. What is the legal issues with this strategy? For example, say it's a business for hotels and guest houses (only example, our product is other). And we call it "flairBnB" and register flairBnB.com. On one hand we get many visitors and customers would recognize the name. So we can piggyback of the competitor's name. But this is the same business so would the competitor be successful for trademark lawsuit? What is the legal issues with this strategy? What strategy would you advise?

Not only would you run the risk of TM infringement, you will probably run into unfair competition, passing off, misrepresentation, and possibly other issues. Be smart - pick another name/brand - do not go looking for trouble with trademark infringement, unfair competition, and other problems.
