How to Choose a Blog Name Trouble-Free

While your blog may evolve over time, changing its name can be confusing for the readers. Below, we will cover some tips on how to choose a blog name that will sound appropriate even in the long run.

Creating a nice-sounding and available blog name can seem like an impossible task. With so many options out there, it’s important to ask yourself these 4 question before you start:

1. What are you planning to write about?
2. Who will be your blog target audience?
3. What style/tone of blogging do you prefer?
4. Are you planning to build a brand name around your blog website in the future?

If you choose a name which is absolutely irrelevant to your blog content, it won’t have a nice perception by the readers. At the same time, a corporate style brand name for a fun travel affiliate blog will also mislead your readers, and give them a wrong impression.

With the above in mind, it’s really important to consider some tips and points.

• Use a Vocabulary

One of the best methods of coming up with an interesting name. Thesaurus is a goldmine of interesting words, helping you in rephrasing and synonyms search. For example, a quick search for “travel” brings up such synonyms like a journey, trip, voyage, and so on.

• Check out competitor’s brand names

Do some research for what blog names work well in your selected niche, this will give you an idea of what you will be competing against. Use this for the inspiration, rephrase, and get your creative juices flowing.

• Use online name generators & wordoid app

These are the tools that help you brainstorm and break through the creative block in search of the best name for your blog.

Wordoid is one of the most popular tools which allow you to come up with fun word combinations. The good thing about this tool is that it not only generates some nice blog names but shows whether this domain name is still available or already registered by someone. Namestation is another useful website which lets you plug in your keywords into the generator and create a list of the possible namings. 

• Use abbreviation

Abbreviation names are good because they keep things short, and at the same time illustrate your brand’s identity. There are many options – to abbreviate your whole blog name, or insert a word and the end and abbreviate only half of the brand name, for example, NCTravel.

• Personalize – use your name

A lot of bloggers become really successful by opting to run self-named blogs. This will not only attribute your name to the content you post online but also help people to recognize you easily once the word spreads about your blog.
