Naming blogs


Eric is explaining to Jessica that he has difficulty finding a new name for his blog. He is both amused and frustrated.

...

Eric: I was looking for a new blog name but as soon as I google anything, pages and pages spill down the screen. Nothing is unique now on the Internet.

Jessica: Seahorse?

Eric: Millions of them.

Jessica: Blokes’ blogs?

Eric: Bah. Heaps.

Jessica: Diablog?

Eric: You wouldn’t think so, but there are zillions. Well, quite a few anyway. One diablog wasn’t a diablog at all. Just a place for a daily comment on new technologies. A bare bones comment.

Jessica: Maybe you could have a competition. Ask your readers to come up with an idea. Offer them a prize.

Eric: I don’t have any readers. And even if I did, what could I offer as a prize? The bumblebee jumper Aunt Dodie knitted for Sauerkraut? He did outgrow it so he wouldn’t miss it.

Jessica: Hmm. Bare bones, bumblebees, There’s a theme here. Couldn’t call your blog Stripes?

Eric: There’s 57 varieties of striped blogs. Have to keep thinking. Back to the drawing board.

Changing the name

Two seahorses, Stan and Sandy, meet near the inner reef.

Stan: There comes a time.

Sandy: Yes.

Stan: When you need to change your name.

Sandy: What happened to the old one?

Stan: The old one doesn’t fit anymore.

Sandy: Why?

Stan: You’ve heard about it haven’t you? Male seahorses getting pregnant?

Sandy: You didn't know? Your father never told you? So what’ll the new name be?

Stan: I’m mulling it over. Tell you tomorrow.
