What's in the name?

Deciding on a name for your blog is the biggest dilemma any self respecting blogger can face.
( I think)
A while back I under went this nerve-racking, earth shattering experience too.
After much
‘hard work’ , ‘deep thought’ and ‘careful consideration’ I finally came up with a select list of names for my soon-to-launched, soon-to-be-famous blog and asked my sister to review the list. (Big mistake!)
She soon got to work and systematically rejected most of the names saying that they just won’t do and insisted that they bore similarities to certain works (read: books/songs) of certain people(Sometimes I think she just fails to recognise the creative genius in me).Others were rejected because they apparently had some sexual connotations attached to them (like I would to something like that..grrr). 
Anyway, I have the original list here and I request you to peruse it at leisure and tell me if anything’s wrong.

  1. From this post one can definately make out that ur sis seems to be much smarter than u. The 2nd name in Reject list 4 suggested by her seems the most apt for you.

    By the way cudn't you have kept it just shivangityagi.blogspot.com. Personally I think the Name/Tittle of the blog (A bend in the road etc etc) matters more than the url of the blog
