Help Me Name My Music Blog! :)

[ladybastilla]

Hi guys! I'm having a bit of trouble finalizing the name of the music blog I want to start this year. The goal of my blog is to chronicle the music I listen to, to encourage me to pay attention to what albums get released, to review albums I listen to so I can share my thoughts on them with others and, ultimately, to encourage my readers / viewers (it's going to have a youtube channel) to check out new music, too.

I currently have two name ideas, but I am happy to hear other suggestions.

1. onmyipod.ca -- If I go with this one the blog design will likely be white and silver with black text and pink logos, buttons, etc. The lettering will be edgy and look like it was written in bright pink crayon / lipstick and there will be an image of the latest gen 6 iPod touch, along with the title, on the header. The reason for the .ca is that .com is taken. I have checked .com and it's just a holder, and I have searched to ensure another blog with this name does not exist. I'm really shocked this isn't an actual thing.

Adventages: Will allow my to expand into movies / tv / books / games if I want to. Really easy to remember. Short and catchy.

Disadvantages: Potentially generic. How long will the iPod last?

2. mylittlemusicblog.com -- This is obviously playing off My Little Pony, and the header on this one would have My Little Music Blog, likely in some combination of pastels, along with a chosen MLP (likely g1 since part of what I want to cover is retro music I grew up with). The site would still likely retain the clean background, though the text may either be black or chocolate brown to go with the softer palette choice. If this is a name you think would be interesting, I'd also love an opinion on who the pony mascot should be. There are quite a few options that would be appropriate here. As with blog name #1, this url is available and no active blog is using it. (I don't want to get confused with someone else.) I also wonder if .com or .ca is the better choice. I am Canadian, but .com is generally more universal.

Advantages: blends one of my other hobbies into my blog, making it more personal. I should be able to mix some pony stuff in if I want to. Potentially more unique / creative. .com is more universal.

Disadvantages: Make cause a hit in credibility with "serious" reviewers, does not have as much non-music expansion potential (for now). URL is slightly longer.

Anyway, thanks for reading. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Have a great day!

I like the second. The color theme of the first is very current. I find mlp to be timeless. I also know many people who have or are moving away from iPods. My little brother works for Intel, so he's the family technology advisor. Hence the choice.

I think im indifferent about either--though I do agree that the ipod is not timeless and it might cripple you down the road if you decide to go with the first one.

Is there something you can replace 'ipod' with?

Not that I can think of. I thought of onmyipod because I'm sorta deliberately a step behind most people, who get their music via smartphone or through satelite radio or a streaming service. It sorta came up because I'm thinking of upgrading mine and I've been thinking of setting up this music blog for a while.

Another idea I had was "thehappycrtic" since I often like things that other people who critique music really tear into. It could be dangerous taking the opposing stance now and then versus much more experienced critics and reviewerrs, and I don't have a design idea for this one quite yet, but I'll throw it out there anyway.

I have no idea but it sounds interesting. I can give this a bump for you.
