How To Decide Name of Your New Blog

Naming anything is one of the biggest task, because once you name anything, that becomes the future of that person/thing.  But, usually for a newbie person, who is starting his first blog, deciding a name comes out to be very tough, as there are many confusions, such as:

Should I use my name as my blog name?

Should I use common words like Tech, Fashion, movies in my blog name?

I’m not sure about niche of my blog, and will.this name look good in long run?

These are just few of many confusions which we usually have while deciding on the name of the blog. 

Here I will outline some of the simplest way which can help you to pick a name for your blog. Do remember, by the end, every name is good; what really matter is what quality you put in there, and how you brand it.

Pick a pen and paper, and start writing the names which are coming in your mind. Don’t use your personal name as blog name, until it’s your personal journal blog. Because, if you use your name as a name of your blog, it loses the chance of creating a niche authority blog, and it becomes more of a personal branding blog.

When I wanted to start apeiron24.blogspot.com, I picked my pen and started writing down every idea that came to my head. Like

apeironBlog

Myblog

Apeiron14

ApeironNewsblog

Apeironopinions

Apeironoriginal

Now, after writing down these names, i started removing names one by one, and the process was quite easy, after i answered these questions:

What is the goal of this blog?

What kind of audience I’m targeting?

Is name justifying the kind of content I’m

going to put there?

Is this name Good for long run?

Is the name unique or my name is close to any existing brand?

It took another 30 minutes to start removing names,

and by the end i come down to

apeiron24

I went through the same process when I wanted to start www.aspiringnollywoodstars.com to arrive at that particular name.

Another important thing to keep in mind when deciding for a blog name is; availability of name on Social-media sites . For example, if you have decided a blog name as apeiron24, that name should also be available on at least Twitter and Facebook. If not, you should go for an alternate name or start with step

You can use a username check website like Knowem to search for name availability on various Social networking sites.

Few more tips to keep in mind:

not hard to type. Ensure that blog name is easy to pronounce, and should not be confusing.
