First comments in this forum : Naming my domains I have always had difficulty in coming up with a name for my domain. I want the name of my site to be interesting enough that it catches my visitors' curiousity; such that he or she would want to see more. Are there stratgies that one should use when trying to come up with a domain name for a website? __________________ Yours in Success,Lawren--------------------------------------------------Use tools like DomainIt and NameBoy......Here is the link to this forum :http://www.v7n.com/forums/domain-name-forum/66949-naming-my-domains.html

There's a post I did quite early on, about naming your child after countries.I've decided to follow on, and do a "naming after..." series.A lot of people think choosing a random thing to name your child after is wrong, stupid or tacky. Personally, I'm not saying its either right or wrong, but it's certainly very interesting. Any name can be okay, as long as your sensible in choosing in it.This post is going to be about naming your child after colors, some color names, such as Scarlet(t), are becoming quite popular, so this may be a popular path in the future. I think that using a color as a middle name is pretty neat, especially if it has special meaning, for example, an elder siblings favorite color, or if a child has blonde hair, a name with a meaning of 'yellow' or 'golden' can be sweet.So, I'll get on with it ;)For boys..Category one: Names which aren't actually colors, but have meanings which are colors.Adrian, meaning "black" in Latin.Alban, meaning "white" in Latin.Aurelius, mea
The puppies are growing well and I have decided to name a couple of them. Mackenna is the saluki/husky mom with a single girl pup who looks just like her. So I named her Anna - Mackenna and BabyAnna!!
Baby Anna - sturdy, strong, cuddly little girl!
Then I noticed that the black puppy has white [...]
Watch out! Names which are increasing in popularity like wild-fire!Names which are in the top 250 should generally be avoided. These names will often only grow in popularity which will most often result in your child be the third person in their class with the same name! Definitely something to avoid.There are also names which aren't yet very popular, but are increasing in popularity at alarming rates, so while the name might be very popular yet, in a year or two it may be very trendy and you're left with a very common name which you can't change.Ones to avoid:Cash, increased by 156% to no. 378Leland, increased by 145% to no.342Talan, increased by 143% to no. 309Lincoln, increased by 120% to no. 300Cohen, increased by 81% to no. 415Cason, increased by 77% to no. 753Ronan, increased by 60% to no. 598Nash, increased by 54% to no.742Anderson, increased by 53% to no. 399Jordy, increased by 52% to no. 677Brock, increased by 44% to no. 261Joaquin, increased by 44%, to no. 286Brodie, increase
After an interesting naming of her son by Jaci Velisquezhttp://babynamerant.blogspot.com/2007/11/thumbs-down-jaci-velasquez.htmlIt may be interesting to look at the common trend of naming your child after a country or place.Names of big or well known countries can be plain weird.Names such as:Asiahttp://www.presstelegram.com/portlet/article/html/imageDisplay.jsp?contentItemRelationshipId=1464890Irelandhttp://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2007-04-19-baldwin-voicemail_N.htmKenyahttp://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808404374/photo/premiere/576883Can be a bit strange because of the connotations with them. Furthermore, Asia has some of the worst human rights abuses, while Kenya is a third world country where people are starving to death. Why would you want your childs name associated with those things? Its also pretty funny to see a privileged white girl named after a country with black starving people. Kind of a bit ignorant, really.Things like the location of the place also need to be taken into

When Max and Igor Cavalera founded their first group, they were young, and calling it Sepultrua probably seemed like a good idea.Now, they're older, wiser, and forming a new band. They're calling it Inflikted. They're surely way, way too old for that sort of thing.
The Animal Collective album leak - a leak which hardly anyone notice - has given the music industry a chance to demonstrate that the bit some labels put on CDs about the tracks being watermarked isn't just made up, the way some people will shout 'goodbye' when they leave an empty house to try and fool passers-by into thinking there's someone in there:an e-mail from the band's publicist, Judy Miller, sent to pretty much every other music journalist on the planet, which read, in part:"Hello friends -"Sorry to write this one....but....."Last week three tracks from Animal Collective's new album leaked. Within minutes, we were able to track the leak to a writer's CD. That person got in more trouble than you care to hear about and was almost fired. The person was also forced to write an apology letter to an entire staff of people and the head of Domino Records along with other penance." "Penance"? I wonder if the Animal Collective might want to have a word with their publicist and ask
In an ideal world every time you search a database you want all the relevant records presented to you. Not just those that the system can be bothered finding, or a heap of others that are totally irrelevant. Achieving this state of precision is almost impossible and depends on many factors some are and some are not under the control of you the user.For instance the vagaries of the language. With wildlife the problems associated with vernacular names are well known. To give an example moon-daisy and ox-eye daisy are one and the same thing (pretty flowering weeds in wheat fields). Purple gallinule and pukeko are the same bird both are water rails which are marsh loving birds, the first is the North American name and the second is the New Zealand name. Talk about purple gallinule in NZ or pukeko in USA and you're likely be given blank looks. This nomenclatural problem is not limited to wildlife; one person's shovel is another person's spade.Spelling variants of course are another well-
Damn, I'm not claiming to be some kind of silver-tongued devil, but what is with the state of internet marketing today? Seriously, what in the Good Lord's name is going on? Have we reached some kind...
