i choose blogitoergosunt (I BLOG THEREFORE I AM) In LATIN.
with a mistake. Should have been BLOGITOERGO SUM (in Latin) but I figured that the mistake would make it more peculiar. -
well, at first i chose thedaytheworldends but then i thought it was too large and it felt a little biblical, so I changed it to farblaze.blogspot.com with no sub names or anything, just farblaze (Plus, the page is all black and it only has a blue on/off button in the center)-
cool
-

-
i'd like to hear it
-
that's why I included the link ... it tells you alllll about it, lol

I was feeling lost and down one day and I was reading a book entitled..."Lord I Want to be Whole", I glanced at the book beside me and went with that name. It is fitting though, because my blog chronicles my journey to wellness and becoming whole.-
hmmm makes me think
-
-
Because as a domain name it's worth thousands to the Scotch whisky industry and was incredibly available! It also represents what my blog is about.
StraightScotch.com

I just tried out a variety of simple possibilities. Then I played around with what was available on my blogging platform and I checked Google to make sure the names weren't taken already.
-
so you're made of stone?
-
This is my real name.
-
-
my blog's name is bloggerdygook; a blending of blogging and gobbledygook. the tagline explains it: blogging gobbledygook and such.
-
need more explanation...got me confused on this one
-
Cool name! I like it! -
thanks lucyvp!
piodalcin: it just means that my blog is a space for my nonsense (gobbledygook), that's all.

Actually, mine was a second choice... I original chose "Shadow's Brobdingnagian Trove", but then I thought that might sound pompous, too fantastical, and just turn people off... so I went with "Shahow's Far-Out Corner of the Web"... which basically is a good description of the site. lol-
i like this name
-
-
moms crazy life ,,, pretty self explanatory-
really

outsidemybrain.wordpress.com - Musings, Humor and more
www.outsidemybrainagain.blogspot.com - I empty the contents of my mind here - so that you can see.
wayoutsidemybrain.wordpress.com - Rants about Big Brother, Conspiracy Theories, UFO's and more. (this one is still under construction)
I was looking for something unique and it came to me, that once I write something down, or type it, it is now "Outside My Brain"-
like that
-
Ah, if you like to rant about paranormal stuff and conspiracies, you'd like our forum
www.planet-flipside.com/vboard/index.php -
Thanks Lucyvp, I bookmarked that site.
-
-
i have 3 blogs...but have been concentrating more so on one of them as of late. dailyinsurer.blogspot.com came about as i used to work in the insurance industry and figured i could provide some info/news etc. for agents and consumers that would be beneficial.
-
nice thought
-
-
I used my last name along with "Raving Maniac" to create: ManiaRavings -
cool
-
My name backwards and then random ramblings which is pretty self explanatory. The only downside is that it ended up being a very long url after blogspot added the last part
ekim-randomramblings.blogspot.com
That's a lot of typing
-
Damn and I thought ekim was Norwegian or something? So can I call you Mike now?
Ben -
ehehehe
-
tough
-
Silly neb, I'm Floridian, not Norwegian.
-
You're not Norwegian?? I should have guessed they're not many black guys in Norway. -
ohhhhhhhh... so your real name is Mike... hi Mike nice to meet you! -
Oh Brother!!!
This is pretty weird. People on here are calling me Mike
and people I know personally are starting to call me Ekim
It's friggin weird folks -
Yo!
-
Your real name is 149?

@lucyvp: lol

Our blog is
bodc-nerc.blogspot.com
bodc-nerc - because we are the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) which is the designated marine data centre for the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).-

My Thoughts was something that didn't require much thought.
The Heart of a Mom is the title of my gram's book.
I came up w/ the title of Proof Positivity 12 years ago. I am really involved in community service and I studied broadcast journalism. I told someone once "There should be some way to prove positivity to the world. I'm sick of the if it bleeds it leads mentality." The idea of Proof Positivity was born. Although I have always intended for it to be a TV news program. -
My blog is azureislandsdesigns.blogspot.com
The name of my jewelry line is Azure Islands Designs
When I was trying to decide the name of my company I woke up in the middle of the night thinking Azure and what color it represented, don't ask me why...and...I love the Caribbean Islands...so I put the two together.-
that makes sense

Hmmm I choose Earthly Explorations (earthlyexplorations.blogspot.com/) because:
1) My nickname is Earth and I blog about anything that my head explores
2) Earthly Explorations seems appropriate because it's some kind of "earthly explorations" Earthly emotions, anger, hate, frustration, PMS etc. venting and ranting and sometimes useless talk/explorations/writing about shallow things
3) it turned out I can make some extra money out of it so it's really earthly ...
My Happiness Haven (thehaven-earthlingorgeous.blogspot.com/) because:
1)I want to have some place where I can just be positive, inspiring, reflective and not shallow or moody
2) I want to appreciate simple things in life because I'm tired being frustrated about things I want but don't get
3) Writing this thought provoking things makes me reflect
4) If this blog helps others , even just one person to appreciate his/her life better, I am happy glad to be able to do that...-
applause...standing ovation

My blog is named 'Delve into the Mind of a Budding Blogger' because when I started it (years ago, when I was a child ), I was a budding blogger.

I can't remember exactly my logic for choosing mine, but I wanted to sort of make up a word and have it sound a bit like an animal.. but then I discovered that I didn't make up a word at all. Pssh. Oh well:

domestique = French word
French = chic
(French + domestic)2 = chic homemaking
therefore
"domestique" is the name of my blog.-

My Blog name is my first name followed by the word blog -

Mine is a play on words.
Inertia means “A body in motion tends to remain in motion, a body at rest tends to remain at rest.”
My site is all about Autoplay Jukebox thus I replaced the i with a v (for video) and ended up with: Vnertia.com = “A series of video’s in motion tends to remain in motion."-
cool

Of Cabbages and Kings is part of a Lewis Carroll poem, "The Walrus and the Carpenter"...
'The time has come,' the Walrus said
'To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings.'
As it's a humor blog with original stories on just about anything, it seemed like a good fit.

I decided on Artist Perpetually in Progress for my art blog because I wanted to convey my general attitude and also make the purpose clear when only the title was seen.
Inventing Elephants for my thought blog came from an iteration of ideas beginning with my desire to think better and passing through a parable I'd related to with my art about the five blind men and the elephant. I actually wrote a detailed blog entry on this one... inventingelephants.com/2008/01/18/naming-inventing-elephants/-
I like the "Inventing Elephants" title very much. It has just the right ring to it for the type of blog you describe.

thats different

it's named after a Bjork song from her Gling Glo album. Also I thought it was catchy. -
ramonaiftode.com is my actual name.
orthodontics-today.com was created with the main keyword in my mind. It's gonna gather some information I was able to find about this after 1 year of wearing braces (Damon) and now Invisalign. As I straighten my teeth and learn some more, I'd like to inform others ...-
do you know of a cheap dentist?

I used my own name along with a twist on it....no ill will intended, but I'm Hispanic. I married someone with the last name of Bean (God's got a sense of humor as do I). Back in the 90's we were written up in a National computer magazine for having the most unique computerized bulletin board name using our name...thus BeansTalk or BeansTalkline. Thanks, Christine Bean

@piodalcin
