A blog name has to say what you write about, sound like you, and still fit if your blog changes. This blog name generator has ideas for thirteen topics in the shapes good blog names usually take: two things and an ampersand, a place you write from, or a phrase that sounds like you.
Five shapes of blog name
- This & that: two things you love, joined. Lipstick & Lattes, Crumbs & Butter.
- A place: where you write from. Notes from the Potting Shed, The Little Pantry.
- A phrase: something you'd actually say. One More Chapter, Just One More Turn.
- An honest adjective: The Messy Kitchen Table is more inviting than The Perfect Kitchen.
- Your own name: always available, and it grows with you. Worth considering if you might change topic.
Before you choose
- Check the domain and the handles. A name you can't get on the main social sites will cause trouble later.
- Don't box yourself in. A blog called Vegan in Leeds is stuck if you move or start eating cheese. A bit of room helps.
- Skip the year. Anything with 2026 in it will look old in 2027.
- Say it out loud. People will hear it in podcasts and conversation, so it needs to be easy to spell from hearing.
A tiny history
The word weblog was coined by Jorn Barger in 1997, for a page logging the web he'd read. In 1999 Peter Merholz split it, jokingly, into "we blog", and blog stuck. For other kinds of channel, try the Podcast Name Generator or the YouTube Channel Name Generator.
