I love this advice! I think it might even work for other types of blogs too. Naming a blog, business, website, etc. has been the hardest thing for me as I have entered the web as an entrepreneur! I wish I had some of this tips back then, it would have saved me a lot of headaches and multiple title changes! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

It’s seriously the hardest part but the minute you get it done, everything else just falls into place. I’m so glad you like it and could have used it back when you first started Kristi!

SALMON EATS! BAHAHAHAHAH! THAT should be my IG handle – FOR SERIOUS because my IG is slowly morphing into the billions of plates of salmon I eat 😉

PS: This advice could not be MORE ON POINT! Seriously, NAIL = HEAD!

It’s always so rewarding when you finally figure out the blog name you want and it just CLICKS and works for you! <3

BAHAHA or Salmon Devours or Salmon Doesn’t Have a Chance. Dude you seriously devour so much salmon it makes me so happy to have this last name! But you’re so right. The minute you get the right name everything else just falls into place and you can get so much done – stationary, social media handles, etc. it’s a big relief!

I am actually kinda scared that I am going to become intolerant to salmon at some point in my life – BUT I CANNOT STOP EATING YOU! lol!

LMAO!!! We’ll cross that bridge when we get there and hopefully we never get there. never ever.

Never, ever, ever!!!!!

It took me forever to find my blog name and I’m happy that I also listed all the options before picking one. StyleSprinter is not a restaurant blog, but I believe the same rule apply to all blog names!

I think you’re right, the rules can totally apply to any type of blog regardless of the focus. I’m so glad you found a name you love and that you get to run around everywhere telling people a name you’re proud to have!!!

This is really great advice. Researching what others are doing and sticking to a classic name is very important. It took me months to come up with a blog name but it was worth the wait!

So worth the wait when you come up with something you love. Thanks a bunch, Marian!

This is helpful! It took me soooo long to come up with the name for my blog. I was so lost haha.

http://www.myclusterofthoughts.com/

I can imagine, I was lost too Katherine. But look at us now after research — we have names we both love!

I had a few name changes! I went from Kamayan Style (back when I wanted to do a Filipino food blog) to Eat for Today to Dang Good Eats to Eat with Adrian. Your first point about understanding one’s future focus is so so so so important — and really goes hand in hand with choosing a name! I wanted a name that went along with creating an online food personality, something that would put a face on the business. While a lot of close friends and family still vouch for Dang Good Eats, I think Eat with Adrian does just that. (Never mind how saturated the “Eat/Eats/Food with _____” trend has become. Sigh.)

I loved loved Dang Good Eats but I also love your current name. I think it’s super true that the name can go right along with the personality behind the lens.

It’s no easy feat. Sometimes it takes an agency a huge team and months to come up with a good name for a new product. Your tips are a great way to find a name that fits the blogger.

I used to work at a marketing agency so I can totally agree that it can take some serious time. But for those of us who don’t have a marketing budget hopefully these tips come in handy!

Thank you for sharing. These tips are very useful! A name is important for a blog, but it’s not easy to get a good name. I was lucky to see your post.

Thank you so much, Jeffery!!!!
