Big mistakes made by most bloggers include choosing an idiotic name. A blog’s name is as important as your name. If you are serious about making an impact with your blog, don’t go for silly names. It just reflects how silly, bitchy, stupid, childish you are.
a) If you are not planning on going anonymous, use your real name. E.g. ali.blogsome.com is cool. boynextdoor.blogsome.com is UNcool.
b) If you are not sure if you want to be anonymous, how about using your initials? Like KY.blogsome.com?
c) If you are not blogging about personal stuffs, then choose a niche name like petshop.blogsome.com? Or booksreview.blogsome.com?
d) Aim high. Target international readers. Don’t use ethnic names which will seem foreign to people who do not understand the language.
Pick something that people can spell easily. Don’t try to be Frenchy and uses some shitty names that no one can pronounce or understand. Think big, you want people to remember the URL.
Avoided all those hyphens and underscores. Nobody likes to type with the shift key. If your choice of name is taken, use numbers.
Remember, all great bloggers use their real names. And smart bloggers pick names that stays on people’s mind. Like Blog It!
