Blog Naming Tip – Give Your Blog a “Reasonable Name”
By Ted Demopoulos
Give your blog a reasonable name. Although avant-garde names are popular now, they are not appropriate for many blogs, and certainly not for professional or business blogs. A descriptive name always works well.
Avant-garde names can work, such as the extremely popular Boing Boing and icanhascheezburger, but do you want a “strange” name for your blog long term? Blogs are rapidly becoming mainstream, and many blogs, perhaps most blogs, should have mainstream names.
Hopefully your blog will be a successful and longterm endeavor. Choose a name that will be “reasonable” in the long run. Cute, trendy or off-the-wall names might just seem absurd or unprofessional in a year or less.
I’ve talked blogging clients out of the following names for professional blogs!
I, Negro – an Afro-American blogging on marketing
He’s Dead Jim – a mortician blogging on, yes, choosing a funeral home, funeral services, and prepaid funeral plans
White Supremacist Nosepicker – a sales trainers blog (says he just liked the name for its absurdity)
I’m all for strange, bizarre, unique, etc. where at least slightly appropriate, and a far out blog name CAN work for a blog sometimes, but what were the people above thinking? Those names are all entirely inappropriate for their intended purposes!
What would be good names for those blogs? There are always plenty of good choices, but a descriptive name works well. A marketing blog could be called “Marketing Thoughts” for example. It’s obvious what that blog is about, and the name can be more specific, for example “Online Marketing for Family Run Business – Thoughts by Joe.”
A mortician’s blog would need a sensitive name: “Easing the Pain of Loss” might work for example. It’s certainly better than the comical name “He’s Dead Jim” which may offend many people, even those that recognize it as a famous Star Trek line.
And the sales trainers blog similarly could have a descriptive name instead of an offbeat name that conveys an air of foolishness instead of serious business sense.
Pick a blog name that won’t seem as inappropriate as that tattoo you got when 18 years old and drunk! Pick a blog name for the long term. Actually your blog doesn’t even need a name; you can just use your name or organization’s name in the header of the blog.
