What are the resources to run a thorough name check to make sure I don’t choose a name for my record label that is already in use?
You can do your own free search of trademarks registered federally at the US Patent and Trademark Site: http://www.uspto.gov/main/search.html. This site also has a lot of information on copyrights.

Another good alternative would be to hire a lawyer specializing in Copyright and Trademark law.
