The Name Game

Apparently I'm having some sort of bloggy midlife crisis.
I'm craving a BIG change & it's driving me nuts.

I've thought about changing the name of the blog a few times. When I started, it was ALL about the kids... so Mom2MemphisAndRuby made sense. That's what I was... but as the blog has grown and I've branched out, and I'd like a name that reflects more of ''me.'' As you may (or may not) know, I have a photography blog called lena b photography. I love that it has my name in it... and I think it's cute that it rhymes! Ha!

I want something consistent with that, so I'm pretty set on ''Lena B'' something or other...
I was brainstorming by myself, and all of a sudden, ''Sassy Lena B'' or "Lena B Sassy" popped into my head. Love it! But am I sassy enough? Ha! I also kinda like "Lena B Punky"... but I'm not a "punk", really.  Another one I like is ''Simply Lena B''... cuz I am pretty simple, but I wouldn't want anyone to think simple meant boring. What a dilemna!

I'm thinking of adding a tagline like this....

"Fashion-loving, Photo-taking Mom2MemphisAndRuby"

...so people would be sure they were in the right place {and also because I'll always be Mom2MemphisAndRuby}

Do you like anyof these ideas?

I have a proposition for you!
If you can come up with a clever name for me that I end up using, I will offer you a 1 year sponsorship on the blog!!

I'm working on a new blog banner & button and need a name ASAP! Help!

Also, once I get the new name & banner, the blog will need to be tweaked... since I'm a totaly computer clutz, if you are willing to help me with all the technial & re-design/re-branding stuff I will also offer you substantial ad space on the blog!! Please leave a comment or message me if you can help!



I'm really looking forward to everyone's advice & suggestions!!

Ooh how about 'Simply Lena'? Or 'Lena = Sassy'?

Sara @ My Merry Messy Life said...

So, this could be totally dumb, but I thought of "Walkin In a Rubied Memphis" (combines your kids' names, and the Elvis song to go along with Memphis!).

Kate @ A Creative Cookie said...

"All Things Lena"?

Brooke said...

Hey Lena what about "A little Rock a Lotta Love" ;)

Kendall said...

lena b & the littles?

Kendall said...

I think - The Sassy Lena B sounds really good! I just like it with "the" in the front.

Or, how about Lena B Rocks, Lena B and the rockers, The rockin' lena b, genuinely lena, genuinely lena b, etc.

Sorry - I have lots of ideas :)

Julie E said...

Lena B's Galaxy. You can go retro-ish, funky, hint of reverend....just saying.

Julie E said...

I like adding "the" if you do Sassy.

Cassie {two-in-diapers.blogspot.com} said...

How about Fashionably Lena B or Lena B Fashionably? Or stylishly? I may be back with more. Lol.

Nichole @ Yeung Mother Hubbard said...

Going off your Simply Lena B idea... what about Simply Me, Lena B (AND it kinda rhymes!) :)

Kate @ A Creative Cookie said...

I like Lena B Sassy because it's almost like Lena "be" Sassy. You could even call it Lena Be Sassy and make the 'B' a different color!

Cassie {two-in-diapers.blogspot.com} said...

Or if you can think of something else you like or a quality that rhymes, you could do Lena B: Sass and _________.

Julie E said...

Cute

Sarah @ All Things Blogs said...

What about.... Mommy Time, or Mommy Lena can't wait to see which name you choose from the comments!

Destiny said...

Simply Lena B sprinkled with a little bit of sassy.

Simply Lena B with a dash of sassy.

Hope you find the name you're looking for!

Xx!

Simply Lena B with a dash of sass!

Megan10e said...

Lena B. ...that's me!
Love, Lena B.
Sincerely Lena B.

Reannah @ {Shaped by Grace} said...

How fun! I like the idea of still coinciding with your photography background. How about "Lena B Unedited" or "Lena B, Candidly." Good luck! :)

Sarah Evans said...

How about Lena B Completely or Completely Lena B.

It rhymes and fits with your other blog title and yet it is the kind of name which means you can blog about whatever you want to.

Lena B Completely - Fashion-loving, Photo-taking Mom2MemphisAndRuby.

Sounds good to me!

One little tip - check whether the address is available in blogger first or it will drive you nuts and potentially reduce your google stats. That's if you are changing the address and everything (which I would recommend btw).

I really like "Lena B, (insert rhyming word here)." Lena B. Reality? Lena B, Eternally?

Bella Caiden said...

Absolutely Lena B
Wonderfully Lena B

Jess Frost said...

What about "Life with Lena B" or just " Life with Lena"

Meredith Hilton said...

How about "The Lena B" - adding "the" adds presence.

Veronica and Daniel said...

Ooo! I like the sound of Completely Lena B

Stephanie Jones said...

I like ur idea of Lena B Sassy and Simply Lena B

Angie said...

I also like your photography name and the fact that it rhymes. Following suit seems cool. Lena B, Authentically.

AbsoluteMommy said...

Being Lena B.
Xoxo. Whatever you decide it will be awesome!

Daryl said...

Hi!

How about "Lena B, Actually." It's fresh, catchy (rhyming is always good) and you come across very honest and real, like: This is who I actually am. I dig it.

What about Unsimply Lena B? Good luck with your choice! :)

Karly said...

I can see this in my head:
Lena B Unscripted

Whereas the Lena B is one font and color, and the Unscripted is slightly transparent and at an angle underneath Lena B, with maybe a fringe ribbon as the background to Unscripted, or a sweeping brushstroke.

Jade Steckly said...

I kind of like "Lena B" just by itself! I think it could make a really cute title with the right font!

Maria-Isabel @ Agape Love Designs said...

What about "Just Me, Lena B", "Its Me, Lena B"

Kimberly Bikowski said...

What a lovely blog. I found you through the GFC blog hop and am your newest follower. I also love your idea of asking for names. What about The Lena B View. I'd love for you to stop by.

Cassie @ Live.Laugh.L0ve. said...

Can't wait to see what you change it too!! Here is my name Idea.

- The unscripted life of Lena B
- Lena B unscripted
- The reality of being Lena B {Kinda like this is what my life is really like kind of thing}
- Look at me, I'm Lena B {instead of Sandra Dee from grease}

xoxoxo

Jelli said...

Certainly wishing I was a bit more clever with words right about now. Hope you find the perfect match.

Kelley Wilson said...

IF you feel sassy that's all that matters, Let's see how about

Sassy and Classy, that's Lena B

Sassy Funky Momma

Lena B, Sassy Momma that's Me

Lena and the Sassy Bee (play on words with your last name but you could do cute bee logos on everything)

ok that's all I got for now :)
