Hi,
First of all try to confirm whether the person using the name before you or after creation of your website. If it is made after your website, you may ask or sue that person to remove/change the name already used by you. From your query it is not possible to know the complete facts of the case and in this situation it is difficult to clarify and advise you correctly. You are suggested to provide the complete facts.
Thanks and regards

Hello,
Is your trademark registered? Which year? If not then register it immediately, if yes then you can file case against that person, for trademarks and copyrights both, nowadays this jobs are more hassle free.

HI, if you have register domain name from qualified listing of ICANN -Accredited Registrars and if you have trademark registered or applied under similar name, then only you can only claim the name on twitter, in fact in the combination of both you can establish legal right and can write twitter also to take this down or IP infringement but its one side, many factors matter before reaching final conclusion.
