Of course there's more to a great blog than a great name, but it's a good place to start. Here are a few of the blog names that have tickled my fancy even before the blogging beganHe has his own list, including one of mine. The ones that really stuck out at me:
PsychoToddler, Jameel @ the Muqata, Renegade Rebbetzin, Wild Tumor*, Godol Hador (now here), and Kefirot.I would say Hirhurim but I knew what it was before I started blogging. Which ones stuck out at you?
* Before anyone gets insulted, he actually works in the field. Okay? Good.
Hey Ezzie!
ReplyDeleteI gotta get the word out - Here's what I posted to AbbaGav -
I can't say mine came from any great inspiration other than my musical abilities, my gender, and the Klezmatics...
Jewess With Horns (blog formerly named FrumpyChic, but always a Jewess With Horns) (Well... long story)
Ah - so, Jewess with Horns was excluded because I already knew of it from FrumpyChic... and even though that was a good one, it wasn't quite like the ones above. :)
ReplyDeleteNo Oil For Pacifists, An Audience of One, A Barbaric Yawp, In A Kingdom by the Sea (love the reference!, Jameel@The Muqata, and Psycho Toddler. : )
ReplyDeleteHuh, Ez?? I'm the same person! LOL!
ReplyDeleteBy far the best blog name is "Blog Ha Mincha". That rocks!!!
ReplyDeletethe ones you've mentioned are pretty good! and they are ones that sounded interesting, even before you get to the content. Other names: Chasidishe Shaigitz, Bagel Blogger, The Ignoble experiment (Irina :). Sometimes you see a blog name and then are surprised by what the content is and what the person is like.
ReplyDeleteBlog HaMincha? LOL...great!
ReplyDelete(And I thank you for liking my blog's name...though my wife HATES it...)
I like Chai Expectations, really hits the nail on the head in summing up the blog, a Jewish guy looking for a soulmate in the mile high city.
ReplyDeletePobody's Nerfect gets my nod as well.
Even though numbers usually give me a headache, I like the Orthonomics - combining the words like that is clever. I also like SerandEz - combines both your names if I'm not mistaken, and sounds like seranade - that was probably your intention!
ReplyDeleteNow that Chana has changed to Jewess with Horns- she wins my vote, hands down!
ReplyDeleteSCORE!!!!
ReplyDeleteAt least something positive is coming out of my research!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Psycho Toddler is a great name. Now I just need to come up with some kind of content.
ReplyDeleteI think you should change your blog name too Ezzie. Serach doesn't post, so whats the point? And you've been married for over a year now, so there is no need to be all cutsy lovey to include her in. :)
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think you should change it to:
"Ezzie's Hookah Parlor"
Since anyway this blog is kind of a kick back place not dedicated to anything in particular. A place to sit back, light up and talk about anything.
Irina - Good ones!
ReplyDeleteChana - I know... :P
Neil - Not bad...
Sarah - Very true. Yours I was not, though... :P See, I didn't get IgNoble until I looked it up. :/
Jameel - LOL
David - Ah, some people have great login names. Pobody is one of the best, but some others are good too: General Yasser Arafat, Holy Hyrax, Frum Future Wife, MOChassid, and of course...
RaggedyMom! - One of the best login names ever. :) (As a kid I always ate off RaggedyAnn/Andy stuff.)
I like the combos too - Orthonomics and Orthomom almost made the list. But they're different from the likes of the Muqata, so I left them off. I actually didn't think of the "seranade", I just liked the way the combo sounded. Ezach wasn't quite as good. :P
Kasamba - As I told her via email... yep! :) But I knew of it before she changed the name, so it doesn't count! :P
Moshe - I certainly hope this isn't the climax of your research.
PT - Yeah, it's so dull and unfunny.
HH - LOL. Thanks! (Not happening.) Plus, now whenever people tell Serach something about "your blog", she gets to say, "WOAH. Woah. Let's get one thing clear - Ezzie just uses me for the name. I have NOTHING to do with the blog. Nothing!" :)
why not? Rid her from that burden of answering people. I will even design you a cool banner. FREE. Perhaps I can even include the hours in for the Parents Service hours at my daughters school :P
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should just call and ask your wife what she thinks
LOL. She'll say, "Who the heck ARE you!? What's a hyrax?!" :P
ReplyDelete(Then she'll probably listen to you.)
Hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteI'll simply say I'm that secret guy your husband talks to at work. ;-) And right before she slams the phone down, Ill her that its really me ( hmmmm... on the other hand, she might really hang up on me if I told her who I really am).
Secular Blasphemy
ReplyDeleteSocratic Rhythm Method
Mensa Barbie
Occam's Toothbrush (apparently defunct)
PsychoToddler
HH - LOL. I don't know, maybe she likes you. Though scaring her the first time probably didn't help.
ReplyDeleteSD - Oooh, good ones! Now I remembered Atlas Shrugs, too.
LOL. I scared her?
ReplyDeleteI-i got a no-od! I-i got a no-od! score! took me long enough to come up with this name...
ReplyDelete(Ezzie- I still think my AOL screen name is better. what say you?)
psychotoddler gets my vote. though yonina still seems pretty tame in comparison to some kids i've dealt with...
(on that note- am i allowed to post on ourkidsspeak? how do i get in?)
HH - That's what you said... :)
ReplyDeletePN - No, I like this better. Though it may be the cApS thing that bothers me. :P
As to OKS, you'd have to ask the good Dr.
Why do you want to write for OKS? Are you related to me?
ReplyDeleteKASAMBA!! XOXOXOXOXO

I've always had a soft spot for The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler, whose URL
ReplyDelete(http://www.nicedoggie.net/2006/) doesn't fit the name.
I also like Barking Moonbat Early Warning System. (http://www.barking-moonbat.com/)
