Crushingcinders On Naming Your Blog

Naming Your Blog

 

 

Crushingcinders: What’s in a name? How do you choose a name for your blog? I was looking for something unique, but relevant.

The name Crushingcinders originated one day a few years ago when CrushingcindersI needed a password for an email account. At the time I was frustrated with the world’s fixation on the perfect woman and wished I could flatten any ‘Cinderella’ princess! The words popped into my head and made me laugh.

The name stuck with me and feels comfortable and as I love complex ‘messed-up’ characters in books I thought it would be the perfect name for my blog.

How did you come up with your blog’s name?

This post was inspired by a post on Choosing the Perfect Blog Name by Cheri Lucas Rowlands. Thank you for the prompt Cheri!

  3. Great story! 😀 Mine (Babi a Fi) is really boring – it’s just ‘Baby and Me’ in Welsh. #findyourtribe

  6. That’s a great story, and an even better graphic! Thanks for visiting today.

  7. That’s awesome! Love the name! My blog is just called The Story Goes and I kinda just randomly came up with it when I was trying to rename my blog because I wanted it to at least vaguely have something to do with books and writing, and I think The Story Goes.. fits that pretty well!
