A Secret Format to Blog Naming in 2025: How to Name a Blog that Gets Remembered! [+ 50 blog names attached]

What should I name my blog? What title should my blog be?

These are questions new bloggers tend to ask before starting their blogs.

A blog is a way to create content periodically and reach a particular target audience.

You create interesting content frequently for your readers. It’s a great way to build a community around any type of brand.

This is why big brands like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter run their blogs and create content.

One of the most important things to ask when starting your new blog is how to name your blog right?

There are so many blogs today and most of them have branded names.

Popular ones are;

Mashable,

Lifehack.org,

CopyBlogger.com, and;

TechCrunch.

Naming your blog may sound easy but when you want to start your blog, it could feel a bit overwhelming.

One of the most important aspects of setting up your blog is selecting a name that sets your brand right.

Your blog name will play a very crucial role in your blog’s branding strategy.

This means if you can create a powerful blog name, you can have a long-lasting brand effect on your audience and customers.

Today, there are more than half a billion blogs on the internet.

Yet, only a few get good traffic from direct, search and social networks. And your blog’s name plays an important role.

When I began, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to use my name or use a branded name (something that wasn’t my name).

And this made me spend so much time deciding.

I wanted to start a blog in the technology industry. I wanted my blog to cover tech tips, tricks, and news.

But I got confused about what name to use.

As a technology blogger, should I make it a personal brand or a business brand?

I mean if I were to use a personal name or domain, I’d miss out on a ton of traffic because people in the technology space tend to trust huge brands for tech news.

Think brands like;

• TechCrunch,

• Mashable,

• Wired,

• The Next Web,

• Google etc.

  
  

How Important is a Good Blog Name for Your Branding and SEO?

Picking a personal name would mean my blog would sound and feel more personal than what tech blogs are.

If my blog was named myfullname.com, it would be hard to tell if it’s a tech blog or a personal blog where I share my life stories.

Or do I use a made-up name to sort of suit the brand voice and style?

Think of names like Labnol (a tech blog by Amit Agarwal).

I thought about so many different names for my blog.

I researched if I should go for a personal or branded blog name but no guide seemed to explain my exact situation.

I started coming up with random names like;

• Techtional (eventually used this).

• Techzaku

• Zakutech

• Mytechblog etc.

  
  

It was overwhelming picking a name to use and as a result, I picked the wrong name which eventually caused my blog. In weeks, I had closed that very blog, techtional.com.

Let me show you how to select the right blog name.

We’ve put together a list of action strategies to find a unique name that sends the right message to your audience.

Your blog name gives people clues about what your blog is all about.

Without clicking your blog’s URL, your visitors should be able to paint a picture of what they should expect on your blog or website.

“Problogger” is a blog for blogging tips and tricks.

“ContentMarketingInstitute” is a content and marketing blog.

“Nerdfitness” is a fitness or wellness blog.

This will draw users to your blog by giving hints on what your blog is all about.

Sometimes, visitors can have a feel of what your brand is all about.

For instance, “Learn to Code with Me” should give you a feeling that you’d probably be learning about programming from a cool, experienced tech guy.

Now, How Do You Make a Catchy Blog Name? [50 Blog Name Ideas & Examples Included!]

You see, there’s a lot attached to naming a blog; you need to ensure it rings the right bell to people’s ears, is memorable, and represents your brand voice and style.

Does your blog name represent your blogging voice?

Can your audience easily recall your blog name?

Does your blog name limit areas you can publish about?

If your blog’s name is Dailyblogtips.com, you should have a plan to release mostly blogging-related topics daily.

These are a few things you need to consider before selecting a blog name and we’ve broken this into four (4) simple steps.

• Pick a blogging niche.

• Research your niche and see what works (what voice resonates better with your audience).

• Begin brainstorming blog name ideas.

• Do domain and brand name check.

Step #1: Select a Good Blogging Niche (and Be Crystal Clear About it).

Your blog niche is super important when selecting your blog name.

This step is the first I recommend because it sets the tone for your content, audience, brand voice, and even blog name.

Coming up with blog names that match your brand style and fit the market depends on how well your niche is down.

When I began, I spent quite a good time figuring out what blog niche to go into because I understood how crucial it was.

And this step helped me decide on my blog name easier.

Your niche determines how and what strategy you follow to name your blog.

If you know your niche well, it will be pretty easy to name your blog.

I also have a complete guide on finding the perfect blogging niche. Check the Ibifoundry Academy blog to read.

Me, I love talking about Nigeria, local African talents, marketing. But not just any marketing; content marketing.

And not just for any type of business, I specialize in helping software businesses.

Your niche will help narrow your name ideas. You know the types of names that would work and those that may not.

How will you select your blog niche?

Step #2: Research Your Niche & See What Works (wetin your audience want?).

If you want to be able to come up with good names for your blog then you need to do a lot of research. You need to know the ins and outs of your industry.

If you must have a perfect blog name, you must know what works and what doesn’t (in your niche).

When I was coming up with my blog name, recall that I had ideas like techblogng, techtional, and so forth for my technology blog.

I stayed away from using my name or using initials. Rather, I went for names that showed my readers what my blog was about before checking.

Knowing what type of names work in your industry is a crucial step in coming up with great blog name ideas for your new blog. For instance, freelancers tend to use their names for their blog names and domains.

This is because it’s more of a portfolio with a blog. But as a technology or a travel space, made-up names with niche keywords work better.

• All Tech Buzz by Imran Uddin

• TechLila by Rajesh Namase

• Travelure by Ajay Sood

• Travel Freak by Jeremy Scott Foster

You can go on social networks and community platforms to learn what works for your industry. You can even ask publicly for expert suggestions on Quora.

You’d get real answers and suggestions from real people who could have experience in your field or niche.

Here’s how to ask for blog name suggestions from experts on Quora:

Head over to Quora.com and log in. Ask a question like in your niche.

Check similar websites to see what they are doing.

Find and go through 10 to 15 of your competitor's websites to see what type of names they use.

Let’s use the cooking niche for example;

Loveandlemons.com

Cookie and Kate

Cookieandkate.com

Smitten Kitchen

Smittenkitchen.com

Closet Cooking

Closetcooking.com

Or the Fashion Space;

Hello Fashion

Hellofashionblog.com

What My Boyfriend Wore

Whatmyboyfriendwore.com

We Wore What

Weworewhat.com

We can notice that popular blogs in the fashion and cooking industries tend to use made-up names with industry-related keywords.

What My Boyfriend Wore

Keyword: “Wore”.

Industry: Fashion

Smitten Kitchen

Keyword: “Kitchen”.

Industry: Cooking.

But looking freelancers, consultants, or speakers, tend to use personal names.

Elnacain.com

Simonzaku.com (mine)

Paulmaplesden.com

You simply need to do a lot of research to find what works in your industry. But do not limit yourself to what you see or what you read.

There are lots of new ideas you can come up with by NOT following what works. Just put down everything you can think of!

Here are some ideas off the top of my head:

• Chop Chop Soup

• When Vegetables Meet

• Diet basket

• Fruits and fluids

• Veggies Living In The Fridge

• Foodie Therapy

• Footprints in Flour

• Kitchen Closeup

• Food frenzy

• Lifeandapril

• Skinny Chit Chat

• Forevers Fitting In

• Running Mom

• Fitness in the City

• Healthful Summer

• Do A Run

• Waiting 4 Sunshine

• Do A Run

• Get Fit Mom

• Makeup in Corso

• My Beauty Junction

Next, Learn About Your Blog's Target Audience?

Going deep into knowing your target audience is a powerful advantage in every business or company.

The more you learn about your target customers, the better you serve them.

If you know the problems your target customers are looking for solutions to, you’d provide the perfect solutions, right?

It is crucial to consider your target audience when choosing a name for your blog.

And to find out about your target audience, you need to do more than just keyword research.

Your target customers are humans. They are on social networks, community platforms, and blogs too.

They ask real questions and find solutions on the web.

For example, Apetogentleman.com targets men that are into fashion.

While Theathletic.com targets sports fans.

Next, What Is Your Writing Style or Tone Like?

Knowing your writing style or tone of the message is also powerful. The way you would communicate with your target audience should be able to reflect on your blog name.

Are you a formal or conversational writer?

For example, blog names like “Learn to Code With Me”, “Rob Has a Podcast”, and “Scary Mommy” are great blogs with conversational writing styles.

On the other hand, names like “TechCrunch”, “Problogger”, and “Engadget” all give a more final or professional feel.

Know your writing style and select a good name for your new blog.

Step #3: Begin Brainstorming Blog Name Ideas.

Begin by using free blog name generators to get ideas on what to begin putting down.

Please do not pay attention to these names now as you’re just using these to kickstart some ideas in your head.

A good tool you could use is the Wix Blog Name Generator.

Other Blog Name Generators you can use are;

• Blog Name Generator by Themeisle

• Namebounce

• Wordoid

• Panabee

• Zyro Business Name Generator

• Domainwheel

• Nameboy

You can see a bunch of ideas you could use to bring even more.

At this point, I prefer to use my notepad or a pen and paper (I tend to brainstorm easier) to put down my ideas.

Consider picking up your dictionary to do some reading.

The thesaurus is also a great place to go when you want to figure out how to come up with name ideas for your blog.

Spend some time brainstorming ideas to use for your blog. This could be a travel blog, a fashion blog, a lifestyle blog or anything else.

You can do this by looking up the thesaurus. You can look up synonyms, antonyms, etc.

The idea is to get as many ideas as possible.

More tips for naming your blog today:

Start with a keyword focus. It is a good idea to include a niche keyword in your blog name.

Think of a name that’s easy to pronounce. When thinking about blog names, you should remember that people visit a lot of websites daily and can easily forget yours.

Avoid using hyphens when possible.

Hyphens make it difficult for users to type in URLs.

Avoid using names that are copyrighted. Now some names could be available but may be copyrighted. For example, “Fasebuuuook.com”.

Consider using your name. For me, my name worked more and resonated with my audience.

Use Abbreviations or Acronyms. Great abbreviated names are BMW (Bavarian Motor Works) and AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph Company).

Use another language.

Think about it; if you have your blog name ideas, why not translate them into a different language and use them as your blog name? Example: Chez Vous, Su Casa.

Make a Common Saying Your Own. For example, “TheresMoneyinTheList”.
