18
I didn’t discover this word on my own. I happen to be the proud owner of a One-New-Word-A-Day desk calendar. The word for Monday, January 18, 2010?
perspicuous (adj): plain to the understanding especially because of clarity and precision of presentation.
Ha! Wouldn’t that be a delightful (AND TOTALLY MISLEADING!) name for my blog! Perspicuous. I sometimes see these sweet little blog names in my Google Reader–Baby Bangs, The Simple Wife, Bears and Belles, Raising Rascals, Snoodlings, Jewels In My Crown… Someday, Blessed Treehouse, Breathing His Joy, BooMama, Big Mama, On the Path, 1PhotoPerDay, My Heart’s Wellspring, Musings from Mommyland, Chatting at the Sky, SortaCrunchy, Finding Him Bigger–and wish I had a cutesy blog name. (And oh my word, if I left you out, it’s only because all the link-making IS KILLING ME and I had to stop, not because I don’t love you. Seriously, I want to bang my head against the wall now.)
Perspicuous. Simple to understand because I did such a clear and lovely job of crystallizing my thoughts into word form. Writing in a way that is not random and/or confusing and/or blabberly. Mmmm…
Feel free to start referring to my blog as Perspicuous. You know you want to. “So, I was reading over at Perspicuous the other day that…” Nice, huh?
And now a question or four for you. I’m intrigued.
1. If you have a blog and love its name, please share with the class a.) your blog name and b.) why you picked it/love it.
2. If you don’t like your blog name, what would you change it to if you could?
3. If you don’t have a blog but decided to get one someday, what would you name it?
OR
4. If you like to read blogs but have no plans to have one yourself ever never, what is the neatest blog name you’ve ever heard?
Have a positively delightful week!
p.s. Thank you SO much for your sweet, encouraging, prayerful comments on yesterday’s pour-out-my-heart post. I kept today’s post light on purpose while I sort out some stuff. But I can feel God molding and squeezing, and I’m so thankful.
Hmm…a few years back, I was “Quantum Leap”. So named after the show (which I used to lurve), and after my conversational style. My husband would tell me that I made quantum leaps from here to there…Then, I wrote under the name “Good Enough for Now.” I probably would’ve stayed under that blog, but my son broke in and read all my posts (some very personal), and so I deleted that blog and started Jewels in My Crown Someday. Guess I like that one the best, anyway. Third time’s the charm.
When I started my blog, I knew I wanted to incorporate my life verse which is Jeremiah 29:11. But when I began thinking up names, “a hope and a future” etc., they were all taken. So I began brainstorming (do your girls watch Imagination Movers? sorry, easily distracted!) and I came up with the 2911 Promise.
ssshhhh….don’t tell anyone, I’m substitute teaching and during my break I love to read some blogs but since the school has blocked anything with ‘blogspot’ in the address, I <3 blogs that are dot coms!!!
Hmm…I do have a blog. I don’t really know if I LOVE it’s name, but it’s the best thing I could think of. I didn’t want to use my own name in the title..and I don’t have kids. So, I just decided to go with my age range.
The blog is http://www.thirtycanwait.blogspot.com and the tagline is Thoughts from a Twenty-Something.
What I want more than anything is just a little update on the blog design…hope that comes one day in the next few months!
I picked my blog name late one night and would definitely like to change it at some point…although I don’t know to what I would change it!
Mine is Treasures In Terra Cotta
Because I beat my head against the creative wall and finally asked God and he gave me this!
Terra Cotta is appropriate for this Arizona-girl
God is constantly reminding me that me made me exactly the way he wants me…on purpose! A treasure. A Jar of Clay.
(Can I really consider myself a blogger if I only make a post a couple times a month!?!)
My blog name is Spicy Magnolia…the title being one of the hardest things about the blog to decide on, and actually my hubby came up with it. He knew my flare for spiciness (food and personality) and my love for magnolias (some for sentimental reasons and because of my southern belle-ness).
This was a fun post!
My blog originally started out as Joy’s Little Soapbox, but I quickly decided that ranting about my pet peeves was NOT the direction I wanted to go in. God began molding me and reshaping the pridefully-warped heart inside, and my spiritual journey took a turn into an extended period of struggle. So my blog became “Joy in the Journey” with the intentional double-entendre of my name and my search to find joy no matter how difficult or painful the journey got. It isn’t really cutesy, but that is what I write and where God has me.
I love your scrabble pieces and notebook look. All you need now is a purple pen!
Thanks for the link! My blog name is a work in progress, just like me. The actual name comes from my favorite C.S. Lewis quote, “Every day you grow you will find me bigger.” And that’s true-God is so big, and I am learning how big in new ways every single day. I feel like I haven’t developed the title well, but I will eventually. The computer is not my friend lately!
I’d read your blog no matter what you call it!
