700 Possible Blog Names

I did it. At some point it seemed impossible, at many times it felt needless and at the end it felt completely necessary because of who I was doing it for: you, the public. After three weeks, here is my gift to the world: 700 possible blog names.

This project was inspired by John Hodgman (the Mac), who gave his readers 700 hobo names, a public service for those who wanted to enter the world of switch yard bonfires and fashions made of lint. Hodgman wisely suggested to keep the hobo list close at hand, for if you met a fellow hobo on the rails with the same name, you would quickly need to choose another one. I give out similar advice with this list, primarily because of the various ways it can be used:

• As answers to the question "have you read any good blogs lately?"
• When addressing a gathering of people who want to start their own blogs and the question of "well, what should I call it?" inevitably comes up.
• When assuaging a friend or loved one with "oh no, surely your blog isn't as bad as ___ or ___"
• For use in the rouse of "talking" to your "secretary" on a cellphone in an airport and you have to list off all the different blogs to send your recent press release to.

I will address further uses of this list, and various other topics related to the 700, in a post later this week. For now, onto the 700 Possible Blog Names:
