Is this stuff licensed merchandise? I know through my own business that the owners of the "Hello Kitty" brand are very aggressive in pursuing anyone using it without permission and conduct internet searches to detect breaches. I am not suggesting you are anything other than legit,just giving you the heads up.:)

I still think coolkids.ie is your best option. Opens you to sell a wider choice of product and i's shorter and easier to type/remember.

How about asking a group of kids to come up with a name. Kids are likely to be drawn to something that others kids are clued into. Like a mini focus group I mean. If the big companies do this for branding, why not the little ones? A standout name is what you're after. Best of Luck with your venture.

If kids had credit cards and bought their own backpacks etc. you'd be on to a winner with that idea.

Pretty remiss of the owner of 'koolkids.ie' not to register 'coolkids.ie' also!

As the OP's business is online retail and not an activity centre, which would by it's nature have a local market, I wouldn't see too much of an issue with the other site's similar name.

OP should also consider the availability of the chosen domain name in other extensions (.co.uk, .eu, .com)
Ireland is a very small market and you may find that exporting is necessary

Not a bad idea. You just might be surprised with what kids can come up with. You don't have to actually take up their suggested names but I'd say there is no harm in asking.

Back in the late 1990's I lived in Finland fairly near the town of Nokia and most of the people I knew were Nokia engineers, product designers, etc. A well known local story was how a senior Nokia executive once went into his son's classroom and asked the kids what changes they wanted to see on mobile phones. The kids told him they wanted to be able to change the colours of their phone. No adult had ever thought of the idea, we were all conditioned to think that mobile phones were grey or black and that was it. The Nokia executive took the kids idea and were the first company to manufacture changeable covers.

The kids idea went on to makes hundreds of millions for Nokia who could manufacture colourful phone covers for pennies in Asia and then sell them for €20+ in Europe and the US. The profit margins on phone covers were far higher than on any of their phones. They made an absiolute killing and kids and teenagers loved their innovation and flocked to using Nokia phones as a result

Today mobile phone covers are a several billion dollar industry worldwide. And all from the brain of a 12 year old Finnish kid.
