I am now happy. But it does describe me. I’m helping people on my blog and that is what Being Me is all about. Maybe I just need to host my own blog and that way the url is a lot better than it currently is.

I do like the Junk Drawer name though! Much better than Mischellenandf? I forgot how it was spelled and don’t feel like scrolling up.

As I was pawing around in the “drawer” just now, I found your post on blog names and how they came to be. I had thought long and hard about what I wanted to call mine, did I want a domain name or just use blogspot? Decisions, decisions. Everything I wanted was taken. I was getting frustrated because a name is somewhat of a requirement, ya know, so I settled on blogspot. To shorten this story up a bit, the name roses2rainbows was chosen because we were getting ready to take a walk through a rose garden just after a summer shower when out popped a beautiful rainbow. My header is an actual picture I took with my cell phone, and I wrote a 2-part post on how I chose the name.

I know it, it’s too long and lacks creativity but that’s what I did. I’ve neglected the blog for a long time too.

Geez. Yikes. I probably won’t be saying something you haven’t already heard on the 53,000 other comments before this one!

Some of these are really funny, especially like the middle aged fat woman one, gonna have a look at that blog now! I think when blogs have witty names like that they are always going to draw in readers…

One day I looked in the mirror and saw a reflection of a middle aged fat woman. Wow, how’d that happen, I asked myself. Maybe I should write about it, and that’s how Reflections on a Middle-Aged Fat Woman started.

Tarheel Ramblings — Ah, yes. The WordPress move. I could not have done it without you and Blog Bloke. And I’m still using Windows Live Writer, thanks to your suggestion. Best thing since sliced bread. I never knew what a Tar Heel was for the longest time. I know, lame.

Lisa — Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Self Deprecate Political Humor — It’s amazing how so many of us screwed stuff up with our blogs early on. Learning curve, I guess. Awesome on your search results. That’s a great way to go.

I misspelled my own domain the first time I registered it Had to try again the next day once I realized it.

I can’t really say where the name came from, it popped in my head I guess. It’s an uncommonly used variant of the root word so in hindsight it’s great for getting my brand name at the top of search results.

I live in the “boondocks” I ramble. A lot.

Hence the blog title.

So very boring, I know. *sigh*

Ahhh…the move to Wordpress…happy memories, huh?

Tarheel Ramblings came from my being a resident of The Tarheel State (North Carolina for those of you in New Jersey). And my whole reason for starting it was to ramble on about topics that interested me.

After a very short time, I started sharing my photography. I take a lot of pictures when I travel and go camping, so the name became even more appropriate.

There you have it. Kind of boring, isn’t it?

??? — Thanks, I think so too!

Sue — I love your story and how you melded the meanings of your daughters’ names into your blog. And I’m glad it’s not about cancer anymore!

Eren Mckay — I like your “embracing” them, as well as the design of your blog. It’s very easy on the eye. Very inviting!

Sujatha — Hilarious! Gotta love those accidental search terms. I’m not going to look it up on Urban Dictionary, though. That place scares me sometimes. Makes me think I’m using bad words or phrases without even knowing it. So much has been made into slang terms.

meleah rebeccah — Me too. This is been such an interesting and educational exercise.

I decided on the name ” Fluff ‘n’ Stuff” in unthinking moment: “Since I’m already blogging about serious things at Accidental Blogger, why not name my personal blog after the ‘fluffy stuff’ that I couldn’t talk about comfortably on the other blog.”
So Fluff ‘n’ Stuff is what it became, and remains, despite weird definitions for the term on the Urban dictionary, and the occasional searcher for porn who lands on pages talking incomprehensibly about fluffy bears, hamsters and baby cardinals.

I love the name of your blog. Truly memorable and brandable. Love it. Personally I named my main blog Embracing Home to encourage parents with their whole role. Then I named my other blog Embracing Blogging just to match the whole embracing theme.
Liked reading about your journey

I began to blog in 05 and it was about a year after I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 29 years old. The blog was supposed ot be about my breast cancer journey. I have two daughters, Claire (whose name means Brite) and Nadia (whose name means Hope) and it just happen to work well with what I was writing about. BriteHope. Would I ever want to change it? Nope. Even got it tattooed with a pink ribbon on my leg. As the years have gone by it has been less and less about my cancer, and more and more about surviving just regular old life.
