Name for a bakery

Hi. Is it correct, or possibly okay, to name a bakery like "My Family Bakery," using the phrase "My Family" like an attributive modifier? I don't think tehre are any set rules for this kind of business names.

"My Family Bakery" is an acceptable name for a bakery in English. But be aware that people will not interpret that to mean "The 'My Family' Bakery" as though "my family" were attributive. It reads "the bakery my family buys their baked goods at", the "my" referring to the reader.
