How To Name Your Blog and choose Your Niche

Naming anything is one of the biggest task, because once you name anything, that becomes the future of that person/thing.  When ever I have to start a new blog or a website, my first few days goes in deciding the name of the blog.Usually for a newbie person, who is starting his first blog, deciding a name comes out to be very tough, as there are many confusions, such as:

• Should I use my name as my blog name?
• Should I use common words like Tech, Fashion, movies in my blog name?
• I’m not sure about niche of my blog, and will this name look good in long run?

These are just few of many confusions which we usually have while deciding on the name of the blog. Here I will out line some of the simplest way which can help you to pick a name for your blog. Do remember, by the end, every name is good; what really matter is what quality you put in there, and how you brand it.

   Pick a pen and paper, and start writing the names which are coming in your mind. Don’t use your personal name as blog name, until it’s your personal journal blog.
