Blog Names: 3 that wouldn't change, Yaro Starak, Tamera Kremer, & John Kinde
Three popular bloggers who, if they were to start blogging today, would name their blog the same.
Yaro Starak, author of the free Blog Profits Blueprint and creator of Blog Mastermind program:
Very tough question. In the past I would have definitely said yes. My domain has a hyphen in it, it's too hard to spell entrepreneur and I don't own the non-hypen version...however, it's a brand now as much as a domain and who knows if that would have happened with a different domain.
InternetBusinessBlog.com just isn't as catchy or romantic as entrepreneurs-journey.com.
Tamera Kremer, Wildfire Strategic Marketing:
I wouldn't. The title (3i) conveys the essence of my blogging 'brand' and the sub-head ("innovate. integrate. ignite.") sums up my approach to marketing. And besides that, it's always listed first in blog rolls :)
John Kinde, a speaker who specializes in humor skills, former blackjack and nuclear weapons dealer (did I get that right John?):
I haven't given it much thought. I'd probably keep the same name. Humor Power Blog. The focus of my blog is adding humor to your presentations. and the name matches my business name. I don't think I'd want my personal name as my blog name.

A blog with a reputation cannot change names that easily. The name has already become something like a brand. Something people can really relate to. Plus, it reflects the very purpose of your blog. In a way, it's like changing the name of your restaurant. People know the place by name. Even if the owner is a great chef, he or she cannot just substitute the name for his or her own name. Unless that is the way it has been since the beginning.

Hi Jen,
Changing your blog name is something to think about long and hard before doing it. It is not nearly as significant as changing the URL however.
Shel Israel changed the name of his blog from "Naked Conversations" to "Global Neighborhoods" with no apparent negative repercussions.

It is not a that much easy to change your blog or domain name of your blog while having huge traffic to your blogs. That may cause severe lose of visitors. so be aware before you select you blog name and domain name at first.
