The best blog names evoke a vibe ("Smitten Kitchen", "Cup of Jo") more than they describe the topic. Write down 5 words for how you want readers to feel.
Take a word tied to your niche and bend it: add -ly or -o, drop a letter, or fuse two short words. "avocado" becomes "avocadu"; "peach" becomes "peachly". Twisted near-words are memorable and far more likely to be available.
If you cannot say it cleanly on a podcast or spell it after hearing it once, cut it. Pass the radio test before you fall in love.
Never pick a name whose .com is taken; you will regret it. Verify availability against the live registry first, not a guess.
Shortlist three, sit with them for a day, then commit. Done beats perfect: your content matters more than the name.
