Just change the name: The letter from the charity urged Simon Cowell to find a new moniker for the girl group. Davyd claimed that Cowell's company Simco had applied to trademark the name Rhythmix while aware that it was already in use by the charity.
The letter, which was posted on Facebook today, said: ' Rather than seeking any discussion with the Charity, considering any of the moral implications of their actions, or checking with the Charity whether the pursuit of an exclusive trademark might have a negative impact on the activities of the Charity, Simco and their legal representatives apparently sought a way to use the law to circumvent the trademark of the Charity.
The letter recognised Cowell's charity work and praised it but said the X Factor's decision to use the name threatened the charity's work. It said: ' Rhythmix the charity has worked with over 40, young people in the last twelve years.
All of that work is placed at risk by the actions of your company. Davyd ended the letter with a simple and blunt request to Cowell that said: ' Just change the name.

They later announced that they would be changing their name. On 26 October , the band confirmed that they'd be changing their name from Rhythmix to Little Mix following a dispute with a Brighton-based children's charity which was also called Rhythmix. Her mother was devastated. Mum wanted me to come out of the group. My mum, still to this day, would rather me go back to being a barmaid than doing this. Her brother, a property developer, said she should stick it out and things would get better.
For a while things did improve. She deleted her Twitter account — for Nelson, the most aggressive of social media platforms. Meanwhile, Little Mix continued to enjoy great success in the singles and albums charts. But in a spat between their management company, Modest!
Nelson says Little Mix were the collateral damage. It was to do with other people that worked for us. Nelson thinks the move to RCA was disastrous.
When Little Mix started out, and for a long time, we were very authentic. We were given songs and I hated them. Then came the pandemic and lockdown, which proved life-changing.

Nelson was often dressed differently from the others in videos. For example, while they wore white, she would often wear black. It got to the point where I thought, this is too much — I need to come out of this now.

There was an energy when I walked into a room. I ask whether her unhappiness has made it tough for the girls over the years. Now Little Mix is a trio, two of whom are pregnant. Does she think the group will stay together? I still love them to pieces. They were like my sisters. Not now.
