A Personal Blog
Help Choose the Company Name
As I didn’t mention earlier, I’m starting a new venture, a blog consulting / production company.
The plans are still a little sketchy, however by tomorrow we need to pick a name. Who’s the “we”? Myself and Darren Barefoot.
The two names on the table are:
- BlogFathers
- InsideBlogging
We were looking for something cutting edge, trendy, fun, etc. We’ll be having a logo designed in the next week by DesignOutpost once we’ve chosen a name.
Let us know what you think.
Here’s Darren’s writeup (why is it that whenever Darren talks I feel slightly less intelligent? ;-)):
Jeremy Wright and I are kicking around the idea of starting a blog consulting and production company. The amount of interest around his auction (and the, uh, meagre interest around mine) indicates that there’s a market for this type of company. We’re planning on targeting medium to large organizations. Today, we brainstormed on some names. We think it’s important, in light of the newness of the marketplace, that the name include the term ‘blog’ or ‘weblog’.

I like “InsideBlogging” better. It sounds fun and easy to remember.

You could take Michael’s and make “Blogsight,” but I like the ring of “Problog”…

I’d say stay away from the name “BLOG” in the name… think of all the people who incorporated the term “DOT COM” into their names; bandwagon.
MediaLog, PRLog, CorpLog (implied ‘blog’ sound in there without writing “BLOG”), Timber, LogDriver, … I could go on but the day job calls…

Hi Jeremy
Congrats – I love the entrepreneurial spirit.
A good name is off course important – but more important is what you put in to it. Your Mom and Dad didn’t now what to “expect” naming you years ago – the “real” value revealed it self over the years. I think the case is the same with Companies.
One suggestion – yes, you want to make a blogging company but what is the value proposition? Is it about using the blogging tool or is it about creating alternative space for participative communication?
I think that a company name containing “Blog” will constrain you possibilities. But okay – I don’t know what in fact will sell. Please tell me more and I’ll get “creative”
NB.
In fact I have my own considerations starting a blogging venture my self…;-)
Best Regards

Jeremy. I’ve been involved in the naming process many times. It’s can be a lot of fun – thinking about the potential names and the rosy future of your new company. It inpired me so I wrote an blog post for general ideas about naming a company. Check out the ending of the post for fourteen potential names your you and Darren.
