I think the word "thoughts," not "thought" has to be avoided. Even though that seems like a minor difference, it's because "thoughts" is usually used in the context of "Kaylene's Thoughts" or something generic like that. Actually, Kaylene, I think your blog title is different. I think the word “thoughts,” not “thought” has to be avoided.

I just don't know if I'm actually going to keep blogging long enough to make it worth it. Who knows? Oh and yep, I guess I have one of those boo-boo words in my title too, but thats okay...its works alright even though its not totally original :-) great info Anna!

Opened up a whole new world. I have enjoyed the aspect of creativity it allows. Good tutorials. I might send this link to my mom she often wonders about starting a blog.

Thanks for your offer but I'm still not sure when I'll move. The only reason I added my name was because midnightmusings through wordpress was already taken.

I could grab it for you if need be. I would think that this works well if you figure that it's also alliteration. The words flow off the tongue. Now if you add your name to the front, then it gets a little long. Actually, I just looked and “MidnightMusings.com” is available, Jenna, if you want it. I could grab it for you if need be.

The momosphere is quite full of very similar blog names that evoke mommyhood." You're so right about this one!:) I guess I try to write about issues as often as possible rather than just always about the day to day happenings of my son, etc to distinguish myself, have a varied readership, etc. I have had a few blogs and the name thing has ALWAYS been something I agonize over-more than anything because I just love to put words together in creative ways!:) With that said, I am least happy with my current blog name which I came up with at a time in my life when I was involved with an online mom's group full of "cutsie" blog names. As you say, you want a name that evokes the subject matter but also longevity. The name I'm proudest of from past blogs? "Letter-Rip." There weren't too many blogs out there with that name!! As your last reader mentioned, I am planning on switching to a domain name in the not so distant future as well. I already have one actually but have just not gotten around to moving there yet and all that that entails!:) “What if you write about being a stay-at-home mom?
