A blog by any other name

The problem with having “an irrelevant and misleading” [see sidebar at right] blog name is that it’s, well, irrelevant and misleading.

But adopting a new moniker at this stage of the game isn’t as easy as a hop, skip, and a mouse click either.

I mean, what about brand recognition? What about the legions of worldwide fans? What about all those water cooler discussions about the latest post? What about--

Yeah.

I guess I can change this blog’s name after all…

So, here are some of the shortlisted suggestions*:

• Our Shipudim – The life and times of an early 21st century carnivore
• Our Shikorim – The life and times of an early 21st century drunk
• Our Shikulim – The life and times of an early 21st century weight watcher
• Our Shizufim – The life and times of an early 21st century beach bum
• Our Shidurim – The life and times of an early 21st century television personality
• Our Shiputim – The life and times of an early 21st century referee
• Our Shivukim – The life and times of an early 21st century retailer
• Our Siddurim – The life and times of an early 21st century florist
• Our Shidduchim – The life and times of an early 21st century matchmaker
• Our Shibutim – The life and times of an early 21st century mad scientist

Let me know what you think about these ideas, and please feel free to add a few more of your own.
