however, after reading a wonderful book titled living a charmed life by victoria moran, i decided to title my blog after the name of the book because of the book's wonderful suggestions on how to live a grand life. last night i was thinking of all the fabulously named blog titles and began thinking about how or why we choose the names/titles of our blogs. sometimes, because of a blog's title, i will read and then follow. for example, i just found a blog named black coffee and cigarettes. the title struck a personal cord with me so i joined and now follow.
i guess my question to my blogbuddies is this: why or how did you come up with the title of your blog? what was your inspiration for beginning your blog? this conversation should prove very interesting. cheers!!
I was a big fan of LOCI and Det. Bobby Goren too! Glad to learn the story behind your alias! My blog is called "She Who Seeks" because Debra She Who Seeks is my spiritual name. It all has to do with bees and the Goddess.
ReplyDeletebees and goddess? that is interesting and im sure you are a goddess, indeed. i am a HUGE fan of vincent. cheers!!
DeleteI also started my blog in 2009, and back then it was called 'Water Roots'. I used to have a website that was all about growing plants in water (hydroculture), and eventually I added a blog to it. But my blog morphed into all the other things I enjoy, and I started to drift away from growing plants. That's when I decided to change my blog's name to 'Plowing Through Life'. Because that's how I see myself. Plowing along through life...
ReplyDeleteit seems that is how many of us go through life - plowing, struggling. but life can and should be easy, sometimes. i started a pothos plant by hydorculture in a clear glass vase and my bamboo plant is in a clear vase too. i love seeing the roots of plants. great story. cheers!!
Deleteit seems thats how many go through life - plowing, struggling. life can and should be easy, sometimes lol! and for some it is, but not my life. i like it that way, though. without struggle life would get very boring.
Deletei began growing my pothos plants by hydroculture. and my bamboo plants are in a glass vases. i enjoy seeing the roots of plants. great story. cheers!!
Hi, I'm your newest follower. :) And thank you for following my blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat question you have here. I named my blog "Women Talk About Life". I was feeling the need to reach out and get to know others and that includes men. I need to get the men in women to stand out in my title. :)
Have a great day!
Marie
hi marie. the title of your blog struck a cord with me. any topic about women i enjoy. i admire your goal and agree. thanks. cheers!!
DeleteNeat story behind your blog names.
ReplyDeleteI called mine "I Think; Therefore, I Yam" (Cogito ero spud) because it tickled my funny bone, and I'm a sucker for puns. Yeah, I know. The lowest form of humor. Tough.
susan, you are great. i fell in love with your blog by name alone. i love the title!!!! "lowest form of humor?" i think not. i love puns too. we like two spuds in a bud - lol! or two buds who like spuds? anywho, you get my drift. cheers!!
DeleteMy husband picked my name when he built my blog for me. I couldn't think of a name so my husband picked my name when he built my blog for me.
ReplyDeletewell, its the perfect name for ya since you create so many magnificent recipes. cheers!!
DeleteI just saw that I wrote the same thing twice, the same thing twice.
DeleteNow, twice twice.
Cheers and boogie boogie.
Thanks for the mention! I chose the name Black Coffee and Cigarettes because the blog was intended to be a writing blog and I smoke a lot and drink copious amounts of coffee when I'm writing. Now it's more of a coffee break and a chat, but the title still works - don't know what I'll do if I ever quit smoking though! ;-)
ReplyDeletecoffee and cigarettes? like pb & j, ice cream & apple pie, peaches and cream -- just seems like the perfect combination if you ask me. cheers!!
DeleteMine was not very creative at all, I just wanted a word that started with an "s" like siciliana, so I chose saucy...like tomato sauce:) I can't believe you live in Mt. Vernon. Of course I know it, I went there a few times from the Bronx.
ReplyDeletesaucy, like you, of course!! wonderful title. yes, mt. vernon, of all the places on Earth!! cheers!!
Deletemissing the mom gene ... because I always joked to my kids who complained I never baked cookies enough, played enough games with them or was always working, that I must have been missing the mom gene!
ReplyDeleteahhhhh, now that you have the time - well, except for when you are looking after you two new 'babies" - you can do all that. hi reena!!!!!!! cheers!!
Deleteahhh, now that you have the time - well, when you are not taking care of your two new "babies" - you can do all that. hi reena!!!!!! cheers!!
DeleteTraveling Cats was easy to come up with: it's all about traveling around the world through the eyes of the cats.
ReplyDeletevery cute title. being a lover of cats - myself - i just knew i had to follow you. cheers!!
ReplyDeleteOops. Mine doesn't have a title. I guess that's a bad thing. I'm not very good with titles!
ReplyDeletethats cool. maybe you pick one in the future. thanx for visiting stephanie. cheers!!
DeleteWow so neat to read through all the blog origin stories. I can't recall how my title came about (My Adorable Small Town Life) but I knew I wanted to write about my adventures in my small town and somehow describing it as adorable fit pretty well. :)
ReplyDeletethats a super reason for a blog and a cute title. cheers!!
ReplyDeleteWell, you know why I named my blog My Journey With Candida. Now that I am better, I wish I had another name... but... oh well.
