How do I ask someone if their name represents a singular entity or a collective entity?

Question

In a website I am programming I present the user with the option to name their website site, which can be a singular entity "Mel Tormé" which would present the menu options "About me", "Contact me" or a collective entity like "The Velvet Fog" which would logically change the menu to "About us", "Contact us". I would like to give the user the option to choose "collective or singular" but I'm struggling with how to phrase the question. Any ideas?

You can ask the user to choose between individual and group.

It's a good question. However, I think that this distinction is quite important, and will most likely affect other parts of the web-site apart from this particular choice of pronoun.

For example, facebook offer "Personal" and "Business" accounts, and they offer quite different features.
