Choosing a Blog Name

I was blogging for a new website for three weeks when I was informed my services were no longer needed. The website owner expected to make more money than he was (in the three weeks it was live) and could not afford to keep me. "Thats the breaks" I was told. It is, and I understand that. I didn't understand not trying to keep it going for another month or two. I offered to even write for free for two months. He shut the website down anyway.

What makes me most sad about this, was I loved writing on the topic. It was a pregnancy website and I loved to write about pregnancy. I loved researching new products, finding more resources, and sharing my experiences. So I decided to start my own. Immediately, I ran into a huge problem. My new blog needed a name.

I didn't want just a pregnancy blog on a big free blogging site. I wanted a unique web address that would be simple, to the point, and cute. For me, this has been a difficult task. I know what I want to blog about, I just don't know what to call the blog. After several weeks of thinking and asking for opinions, I settled on a name, went and bought the domain name, and that is it. I second guessed myself and have not pursued it any further.

So many wonderful bloggers are able to create unique and sometimes witty names for their blogs. How do you name your blogs? Is there a special formula you use? Is there a particular method to choosing a name?
