We can have shirts and other things with our logo but the word Jedi has a trademark for use on shirts and other clothing so they won't make them with our name on them. We have not tried https://www.spreadshirt.net/ , but I see they are selling some with "Trust Me I'm A Jedi" so we might get some there until someone complains.

TOTJO is fine and so is TOTJO.ORG which brings you here. It's the word Jedi that has a trademark for shirts, hats and other wearing apparel. I'm not sure what you mean by name of the account but our bank account says Temple of the Jedi Order and our Amazon account says that too. Our name is legal. It's the use of the word Jedi on clothing that is an issue.

There is no issue with account names. This is our legal name and it does not violate any trademark or service mark or copyright.

The only issue is using the word Jedi on clothing.
