A change of name?

From time to time, vague thoughts cross my mind.

The latest vagueness is to ponder whether this site could do with a change of name.

It started out as a sort of joke, to counter the madness on Head Rambles, and ‘The Other Fellow’ was part of that whimsy.  However, I wonder if it could do with a change?  Could it do with it’s own identity?

I have been mulling over various names, and have set out some little rules for my mulling -

  • It would be nice to have a name starting with A?
  • It would be nice to have a name that reflected the contents of the site?
  • It would be nice to have a catchy name that people (mainly myself) could remember?
  • Something that would grab searches would be nice too?
  • It must be a name that can be registered as a domain.  That’s a hard one.

Maybe it’s just too much bother?

Maybe it could revitalise the place?

What do you think?

    I like it. It’s a bit more on Grandad’s line though?

    Mind you – it gives me some more ideas..

    Though none of these really wow me.

    Age consern ?

  7. Richard, on March 9th, 2010 at 8:49 pm Said:

    I think Age Concern might have something to say about that? ;)

  8. tt, on March 9th, 2010 at 8:54 pm Said:

    Not Concern. Consern.

  9. Richard, on March 9th, 2010 at 9:10 pm Said:

    I saw that. And I’d have to spend my time telling people it’s Consern with an ‘s’, not a ‘c’, and it’s the second ‘c’ that’s an ‘s’ not the first ‘c’, because that stays as a ‘c’.

    You see (cee?) my problem?

  10. tt, on March 9th, 2010 at 11:32 pm Said:

    OK I will try and do better.

  11. Maxi, on March 9th, 2010 at 11:58 pm Said:

  12. Richard, on March 10th, 2010 at 1:15 am Said:

    Seeing as you found ‘em, Maxi – you take ‘em. I’ll be gutted, but fair is fair.

    A Pipe and Slippers?

  15. Quiet Reader, on April 10th, 2010 at 2:34 am Said:

    I like the pipe part. It shows an interesting character and a relaxed state. The slippers have been bothering me. I wanted to express leisure but slippers are too soft, and perhaps not fitting. ( Did they get you the wrong size again. )

    The name needs more substance. Something you can chew on.
    Compromise – AmidPipeAndKeyboard

    I’m still not pleased.

    Come up with something soon. I need this brain cell to work on other things.

    Richard

    I am overdue for my Gd fix. Starting to get the shakes. Oh wait… That’s normal.

    Hope everything is ok with you and yours.

    If not, then I hope for patience and strength for all those involved.

    Concerned,
    Quiet Reader

    The Old Fart just didn’t bother writing anything today. Maybe he’ll write something tomorrow? Maybe not?

    Ok. Thanks for responding.

    Carry on.

    Your dedicated readers miss you.
