Lost Rivers 2 was a much more fitting name.

What do YOU call your blog?
Wondering how people name their blogs is an old question, never answered to my satisfaction. Fortunately the Blogwise directory hosts a list of 33810 blogs. Extracting the names of each blog from the directory itself took some work, but the result i…

The naming of weblogs
In response to an innocuous question, more than you ever wanted to know about the origins of Petroglyphs.

Why Fallingrock?
Ok, this is going to sound kind of sappy … but when I was on the trip to Colorado where I met Ginny (my wife), while driving in the mountains, I saw a sign that said “Falling Rock”. It kind of stuck my fancy.

It’s the kind of name that really …

I was in Washington DC in a senate hearing on ICANN, and it was terribly boring but I thought of a good pun. When I got back to my computer I registered the domain.

Heh, my weblog doesn’t really have a name

A cat

I wanted a name that did not directly connect to me, that wasn’t something that tried to be neat / cool / funky or anything wierd, but that meant something to me.
Tamba is the name of my cat - she’s 18 now - and she’s the second cat with that name (We had a cat called Tamba when I was a kid), so it became Tamba2.

I’m also interested in why people choose the domains they do. I know how they are meant to operate according to the ‘powers that be’, but given the diversity, is it a case of “I chose .net because it was the only one that was free” or for some other reason ?

For carthik.net, that was a natural choice, since I wanted a site with my first name on it.
For wordlog.com, I first wanted pressingmatters.com (which was taken), then I tried a whole lot of semantics/syntax related names, and a lot of names involving “word” or “press”. I finally settled for the short, and hopefully meaning wordlog. The length of the name matters a lot to me - shorter is better.

I registered the domain zooibaai.nl in June 2003, and I started a blog this May. Behind the scenes it was always called the Zooiblog, but on the site itself I just called it the blog. Since the redesign (Bob), I’ve put the name on top. If you want to know what it means, find some Dutchman to try to give you a good explanation. I can’t.

Well, when I first started out, I was doing a lot of ranting. So the obvious (and catchy) name of “Ryan’s Rantin’” seemed like a good choice. Now, though, I don’t really do that much ranting… ahh well.

“sideshow” was my college nickname, and was inspired by my white boy ‘fro. As for the actual domain—well, someone’s been squatting on the non-zero version since 1997.

My weblog name (which is the same as my domain name) comes from a song by Blur (you know, the guys who sang that ‘Woo-hoo!’ song; they have much better stuff than that!) of the same name. All my past weblog names (seventeen, galapagos, resigned, etc) have come from songs I like. That’s how I name things.
