Reason behind your Blog Title.

The IndiBlogger forum is now a read-only archive. Every public discussion is still here to read, but new topics and replies are closed.

Hello friends,

All of us have very unique and interesting titles for our blogs. But what inspired you to keep the name to what it currently is.

Why "My musings" "my yatra diary" "a light hearted talk" "narayankripa" " just like that" "rumbaHo" "hardwarebbq" "cricket wise" " wintechgeek" "India backpacker" "craptivate" "cybernag" "pure-love" and so on..

Share the story behind your blog title. Also, just for fun, if you could rename your blog, what would it be called?

Edited
Reason: added more blogs :)

My first blog name I coined was maunvision, then I wanted to refine my creation, so my Musings came up. In this title I could write on any topic I liked. Then I put my full attention on my Musings. And here I am.
then I started a marriagebook too, for all. Sadly I am not able to do justice to it.

SubhashChy
from Mumbai |

if u see, marrriage book has a lot of potentials. keep up the good work..

abhin@v
from mumbai |

Musings is one of the best blogs we have here on indi. It can be entertaining and thought-provoking at the same time.

about marriagebook, I definitely agree with subhash, it has great potential, PL ji.

RioZee

abhi & subhas ji, given new look to my marriagebook site, 

SubhashChy
from Mumbai |

new look rocks PL jee, u have a registration option right ? Where users can register for your blog . How about adding a button which will allow visitors to register using a single click using their existing facebook account ? Wanna add it ? and also there is much more possibility if you want others to share some stuff on marrigaebook

Arti
from Mumbai |

Love your style of writing Pramod ji... Simple and from the heart:) Hence touches the heart:)

Ranjith

Why simply share teh happiness of your marriage life with others! The world can't see others being happy :-)

What is the subject matter of marriagebook? Do post the url if it already exists.

RioZee
from Out of this yEt in this World |

http://marriagebook.in/
I wished participation of young and old alike with interesting encounters, aspirations etc. By making it open for all site by registering free, and getting link backs too to their site. Awaiting nice response yet, it will take time I think.

Zephyr
from Mumbai |

I went through the contents. It is very good and I agree with Abhi too that you should revive it.

RioZee
from Out of this yEt in this World |

Thanks zephyr, for the heads up. I will surely Pay more attention to it

Zephyr
from Mumbai |

The name of my blog reflects my personality according to my family cybernag Laughing(http://cybernag.in) You  can read the posts and decide for yourself if it is apt.

If I were to rename it , it would be The Cybernag Returns Tongue out

abhin@v
from mumbai |

Yup, the title suits completely Laughing. "Cybernag returns"  Even more awesome :)

DS
from Mumbai |

Nice blog Zephyr, loved reading the latest post:)

Arti

Zephyr

abhin@v

How about "Cybernag Reloaded"? :)

DS
from Mumbai |

When I was thinking about starting the blog, only one thing I was sure, that it would be on Cricket!!
Then came selecting a name, I thought hard and then thought that my blog would enlighten those who read it about cricket, in other words make them wiser!!!
Hence the name Cricket Wise:)

RioZee
from Out of this yEt in this World |

I've seen and been to your blog many times. I really admire your talent and extensive feedback on cricket.
Keep it up.
I rem when I took my son to a doc as a child, & doc asked him what he would become later, he made action of hitting a sixer.

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

That a good explanation but till today I thought that the wise used in your blog's title meant the same wise used in length wise, breathwise

DS
from Mumbai |

Haha:) No, it was not like that:P

R-A-J

Hey Abhi, thanks for mentioning my blog name(or rather mentioning the name of the tamer of the two blogs :))

My reason for naming my blog name like so is the same reason that every fellow Mallu would tell u...

Simbly! :)

Cool

abhin@v
from mumbai |

Ha, I like both of your blogs, (and their titles too :P) i was unsure of how others would find it. :)

Rumbaho.com

Ranjith

Your blog's title can infact ebcome a topic for a group discussion on IndiBlogger,,, :-)

india backpacker, is aimed at promoting indian tourist destinations.  The idea occured to me from the term backpacker, which was interesting and adventurous.  I have met some foreigners who pitch their tent literally for 3 months either in Goa, Om beach, Hampi and other destinations where they find living is comfortable and cheap.  I only hope it stays that way for domestic tourists too.  Even though we don t have the habit of taking long vacations, i am sure one day we will get used to a fortnight long vacation instead of weekends and extended holidays.  Let me now pack my bag for my next vacation Lol

DS
from Mumbai |

Nice Umesh!
In India we dont take long vacations, even vacations are haphazard and monotonous sometimes!!

DS
from Mumbai |

Nice blog Umesh:)

RioZee
from Out of this yEt in this World |

only some are that lucky to enjoy full toosh vacations. foreigners have dat luxury. our mentality revolves around family obligations, and atlast feel proud ,that's all.

Arti
from Mumbai |

Lovely blog Umesh ji:)

Shankar
from Chennai |

In this blog I want to write about experiences (not necessarily mine) of life - stories, moments, incidents, movies, books, music... basically anything that will touch us! and hence the intellectual name - Humane Touch! ;)

abhin@v
from mumbai |

A very interesting blog, Shankar. Loved the articles and the template as well.

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Your blog name and the reason looks similar to mine.. :-) and the template is also good. I tried using such a modified wordpress template in the past but wasn't successful in extracting what I required.

Arti
from Mumbai |

Thanks for the shout out, abhi Laughing

Reason -

Whenever I travelled to a particular destination, I always had this habit of collecting visiting cards and maintaining records of good places to eat, numbers and address of of hotels that I found good, in my personal travel diary so that it would help me later. This combined with my love to travel to pilgrimage places inspired me with the name - My Yatra Diary (http://myyatradiary.blogspot.com/) - a collection of my travelogues in an online diary to help fellow travellers and also myself SmileRename -

This particular name has stuck with me for so long now, I really cant think of any other Frown

DS
from Mumbai |

Great blog Arti!
Love it:)

umesh derebail
from Mumbai |

Arti, Good to know that your maintainence of diary has prompted you to brand your blog as My Yatra Diary Smile

abhin@v
from mumbai |

One of the many good points of your blog is your personal touch which you add to all your posts.

If I am travelling to a new place, I would happily take opinions from a person who has already been there before, rather than a commercial website who recommends places because it has been paid to do so.

Happy blogging :)

Thanks:)

Arti

Mohini Puranik

It's your politeness. Everybody has to learn something from your blog.....whichever may be the sub. the simplicity in template and language. But complete info + pics.....everything just perfect. 

Arti

Ranjith

@ Abhi:  kya baat hai.. really an interesting discussion :)

@ Pramodji the new look of Marriage book is just superlicious :) :)

Now about my blog name.. actually when I started blogging about a year ago.. i just had a simple name that is my name :) :)...but when I started venturing out I saw people had these unique names which very well related to their contents.  And then the great me also wanted to do the same, so I started to catagorise my content, but I really tried very very hard and then realised my blog was like a mixed pickle... search for anything and you will get it there.... Tab jaakar janma.......SuKupedia......thats my blog(inspired by my name Sunita Kurup) ... and the description is ... I See, I Feel, I Say :) :) :).....

I would never change my blog name...but just incase...maybe.. then it would be....Khicdi :) :) :)

abhin@v
from mumbai |

SuKuPedia is indeed a very creative name, Sunita.  hmmm, maybe I should rename my blog to AbhiPedia....wait!! did I say that aloud? :)

RioZee
from Out of this yEt in this World |

sunita ji, thanks a ton for the support. you have been awarded surprize gift and banner i created myself and added with link to your site. you can check out.

Arti
from Mumbai |

Thats very creative name Sunita! I loved it:)

Manasi Vaidya
from Pune |

I began blogging soon after becoming a mother for the first time and I wanted a title that captured the joy and the wonder of motherhood as wellas the changes that it brings along, and that's the thought behind ' http://hellomommyhood.blogspot.com/

Maybe when my daughter grows older and I have to put an end to mommy blogging, I'll think of a new name for the blog! I also write about other stuff: writing, books, non mommy stuff that goes on in my life..so it will have to capture all of that.

abhin@v
from mumbai |

Great blog you have there, Manasi. While going through your blog, I am sure a lot of new-moms could relate to it and say "Oh yes! How true is that! "

Mohini Puranik
from Dhule |

Thanks abhi, for sharing the name of my blog. Really great topic. It's nice to read stories of all bloggers. 

If I honestly tell the story, I was in search of true spiritual knowledge. and had an ego that I can get it my own by reading books. But I really got what I am writing by the grace of my Sadgurudeva, Spiritual master H. H. Shri Narayankaka Maharaj. So I know, I am nothing....nothing. This is the first name came in my mind - Gurukripa. I couldn't make this url. So the name of my Sadguru and the god - narayankripa. This word will protect me from the ego.  He is 85 yrs old and what a grace! He has visited my blog too. 

Arti
from Mumbai |

Thats heart touching Mohini.
Your blog is inspirational for me. Keep Going:)

RioZee

Very true, blessings help a lot. It's like a catalyst.

abhin@v

Yes, thanks for sharing that, Mohini :)

When I rekindled my blog I was scratching my brains for a suitable title. It was mid day at office, I was sleepy having sat up till dawn reading a novel. I wanted my blog title to reflect me. Suddenly it all fell into place, the novel I was reading the previous night-Alice Walker’s Color Purple, the likeness with the character Celie, my love for life, love for purple- and lo! The color purple was born. :)

Arti
from Mumbai |

Quite some story that!! Amazing how we have all christened our Blogs:)
Some really great stories!

Arti
from Mumbai |

Very interesting topic Abhi:)
Loving reading the stories:)

abhin@v
from mumbai |

Yes interesting it is, after all, its my topic CoolWinkSealed.

But on a serious note, I often visit blogs with creative titles. But they do not have this " About Us" page where they explain their blogging title, theme and so on .. and I thought of starting this thread. Glad you liked it :)

Arti
from Mumbai |

Of course abhi, you have many a good blogging threads to your credit Cool Rock on... Smile

Abhi,

My blog is where I share my travel experiences and observations. I have been fascinated by the sight of clouds floating in the skies and this has been my inspiration. In fact I thought about the name while sitting and watching the floating clouds at Coorg. Have also blogged about it in my post about Coorg. Thankfully, the name was not already taken on blogger.

abhin@v
from mumbai |

yes,sometimes clouds have amusing shapes.But why havent you written a post about it ?
