No, I’m not asking you to name that baby. I want you to name this baby, my blog!
Dustin and I started our website in 2001. It’s purpose was to update out of town family with all of our wedding details so that they could stay informed. Over the years it’s morphed into an actual blog. Year by year, our blogs have taken on their own personalities. His is more tech and theology focused, mine more mommy focused. Our domain name is up for renewal and now that we aren’t really blogging together anymore, “theyoungbostons” doesn’t quite fit. So, although we as a married coupled are getting closer, our blogs are going to be splitting ways.
So that means I get to have my very own name! What do you think it should be?
I’ve noticed people linking to me as:
Young Mary Boston
The Young Bostons
Mary Boston
Maremone
It’s all so confusing. I’d like to just get rid of the youngboston thing altogether. If my name were included in the title in a clever way I wouldn’t mind.
I’d like something sassy and mom related. Other blog names I heart are: Girl’s Gone Child and Whiskey in My Sippy Cup.
I like my tagline “There’s spit up on my tattoo” but can that be a blog name? I dunno. I need your help!
If I like your suggestion and use it, I’ll send you a Thistle Hill care package including two soaps and one of her soy candles. The owner raises her own goats and uses their milk to make all of her products. They’re totally natural and smell soooooo yummy. My mother in law gave me her stuff to try out on Christian since he had such bad Eczema and I’ve since fallen in love with the stuff and would love to share them with you. Check out her product descriptions at her etsy site.
So hit me with your best shot…leave me a comment with your suggestion.

I have no idea…maybe Not So Virgin Mary…or is that sacreligious? I think your tagline is actually fine for a blog name.
Ok, if I win you can donate the prize to the runner up.
First, the one’s we’ve been thinking about:
* Mary in Me
* Amaryca the Beautiful
* Maryment
* A Very Merry Mary
* Sweet Cherry Mary
* Momary
* Mammary Mary or MamMary
* Better than Babies
* Mama Mary or Mama Maria!
* Momic Mary
* Milk Brain
* Milk Maid
* Mastermom
* Last Dance with Mary Jeanne
* Diva of Household
* Maremoir (like memoir)
* Memary (like memory)
Ah. First, who could possibly compete with the extensive list that Dustin supplied!!??
Second, we girls at Pinks & Blues just went through the same exercise in dividing our blogs (and voices!), and saying “What the *#@$ do each of us name our separate blogs!!??”
We finally decided to state the obvious, and this is what we will be from now on under our new name… MOM GENERATIONS:
Audrey
Jane’s Blog
the Sharon blog
Yes!
I feel your pain… but you will decide on a name and LOVE it. I can’t wait to know what it is!
Sharon - soon to be Mom Generations!
I suck at coming up with names so I can’t help you much there but I do keep thinking of “bloody mary” remembering your post about sending photo of your bloodied self to relatives. Maybe you can save that for Halloween special edition.
Honestly, I can’t seem to imagine you in any of the names listed above. You need something that contains sweetness, innocence, clumsiness, rawness, old-fashioned, quirkiness, and joyfulness to kinda wrap it all up. Like Seinfeld, wrapped in Little House on the Prairie, dipped in Blossom, then stuffed in Teletubbies. Am I close?
I was hoping you meant name your baby girl in which case I was going to suggest Victoria Claire or Elizabeth Claire — classic and goes so well w/Madeline & Christian.
As for your blog, everyone’s ideas are better than anything I could come up with.
Yeah, I’m lousy at following directions.
I actually kind of the like the “There’s spit up on my tattoo”

@Alejandro - That is exactly what I was thinking! I just couldn’t think of any words or phrases that embodied all that! I’ll give it a shot though:
* Sweet Diva
* Polka dots and pantyhose
* Heartmart
* Darlin Daisy OR Daisy Darlin
* Mallflower
* Jack Bauer for President
* Jailbird
* Orange blossoms
* Wide open timeline
* Free in a field of daisies
* Floridaisy
* Pronatalist
Here’s a funny one, although it wouldn’t apply:
* Nookie Rookie
I don’t know, I’m out again.
I couldn’t come up with anything for my blog, hence the reason i named it after my youngest child *at that time* so there ya have it. I really like the Spit up on my tattoo name, it’s neat.
I am not sure if this fits but how about “Contrary to Mary” or “Spit up and Tattoos” “Wild Childing” “Young Marystein” not sure just throwing them out there!
I’d go for “There’s spit up on my tatoo”. I love this line
