I just can't think of anything.

I've been wanting to start a few blogs with numerous topics, but I think I'll now combine them into a massive personal development blog.

Trouble is... I CANNOT seem to think of a good name.

I'd like to ask for help coming up with an idea for a personal dev blog.

I want it to be 2 words long. Cool, hip, funky, stylish etc. Not a boring one.

I'd rather a cool name that looked great to build a brand around.

Anyone have any good ideas? Thing is, I only want a .com so it's harder.

Cheers

    You know something, the more you think about it and try to "force" magic, the less likely you'll be in coming up with a great name.

    I'd let nature take its course and work on the blog content until "lightning strikes" -- meaning when you least expect it the name will just pop out of your head. Keep in mind even though you're not consciously thinking about something, you're brain in actually hard at work problem solving. Things are gonna click and you'll be brushing your teeth and the name will be there!

    I'd advise you to NOT have people share their great ideas with you because there's always one bloke that's gonna register the name before you get a chance!

    I have to agree with what GMD says. Although if you want to brand something why don't you brand yourself and create a buzz about you and how you want to help people.

    Personal branding is one of the best thing for you to do and develop your site from that stand point.

    Take this 15.000 useful phrases, scroll through it, and combine words until you find something you like. Even with this it might take a while to find something that strikes true but you'll get there eventually. Noone can tell you a cool name since it won't resonate with you. You have to find it yourself.

    If you're interested in buying, I own ongtd.com and offink.com - purchased with personal/professional development in mind but decided they took too much away from my primary focus.
