Be unique</STRONG> - Make up a word (like <A href="http://dooce.com/">Dooce</A>), leave out a vowel (like <A href="http://flickr.com">Flickr</A>), or deliberately misspell a word (like <A href="http://pownce.com">Pownce</A>). Your name can work well, especially if it’s not an extremely common name, but only use it if you’re not planning on selling the site in the future.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.blogherald.com/2007/11/06/find-the-perfect-name-for-your-blog/"><P><A id="more-6187"></A> <STRONG>2. Be amusing </STRONG>- I ran across a Jewish scholar’s blog called the “Velveteen Rabbi” some time ago, and I have never forgotten the name. Use a play on words to put a smile on the face of visitors and they’re more likely to find you again.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.blogherald.com/2007/11/06/find-the-perfect-name-for-your-blog/"><P><STRONG>3. Be odd </STRONG>- Sounds like strange advice maybe, but the goal here is to be memorable. <A href="http://www.defectiveyeti.com/">Defective Yeti</A> is an extremely odd name for a site, but you’re unlikely to forget it quickly.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.blogherald.com/2007/11/06/find-the-perfect-name-for-your-blog/"><STRONG>4.
