Title: Please help me come up with a name for my blog
Post by: PrmseKpr on July 22, 2008, 12:46:10 PM
I need help coming up with a name for my blog.

The blog will be a PhotoBlog. Right now, it only has about four or five images on it, but I will be adding more. The images do not have any one specific theme, just photos I have taken. They will probably be mostly nature, scenic, landscaping, etc..., but there might be some portraiture... well, just basically, whatever I take a photo of that I feel like putting on the blog. :)

The blog is: http://NealJacobBlog.com

Some photography friends suggested the name "Jacob's Ladder" but I really don't like that for a "PhotoBlog" (there's a reason why they suggested "Jacob's Ladder" but in my opinion, it really has nothing to do with photography.

I would like a name that gives credit to God or acknowledges God somehow in the title:

His Images
Picture Perfect
Big Picture

Any suggestions?

Thank you :)
Neal

You could just simply drop the capital out of JacobBlog to Jacoblog, or put a B in front ladder as in Jacob's Ladder, ouch! I'll give this some contemplation, Michael.

Thank you for the suggestions, but, not the direction I want to go.

I want the title to be something giving reference or attributing my gift of photography to God.

An idea... My car is a Focus and my license plate says "ON GOD" (get it... "Focus ON GOD") :)

Maybe something like that.

Anything else along those lines?

How about:

Focus on God...
"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3

Hi Neal!

I'm Kathleen.  I don't think we've met.  I've not been on lately as I'm on vacation.  I also shoot mainly outdoor/landscapes/etc...

Well, I'd like to help.  I have a long list of these types of names from when I was brainstorming for my business name.  I found that the word Shekinah encompassed all that I envisioned for my business as a Christian outdoor photographer, capturing God's creation.  Of course it goes against all the marketing rules, but God kept bringing it to my mind as I prayed and read His Word and now it's actually a great talking point because in explaining it, I can be a witness without seeming pushy.  My photography blog links off my website and I call it Shots n' Thoughts. 

I'm on vacation right now, so I don't have the list with me.  If you still haven't decided on a name by the time I get home, I will find it and give you some suggestions.  I'll see if I can't think of a couple right now, though.

His Pix
Creation Captures
Captured Creations
God's Art
How Great Thou Artwork
God Shots by Neal
Master's Moments

Well, that's about it for my pea brain for now.  Take em or leave em...I'll understand.

Blessings, Kathleen

Hey Neal. Steve alias Fotobirder here. 8) Have you thought about what you want to say through your Blog or group of pictures. I kept the name Fotobirder but if you go to my Blog or website it's Steve's Creation Photography. My goal is to show everyone that God is the Creator of all things. By the way here's my Link: Fotobirder.Smugmug.Com. Does your Blog have a place for a Bio or where you can tell a little about your self. :yes: Is your goal to give Glory to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Here's an Example. "Neal's Real Deal Photo Blog. In explanation It;'s Neal showing everyone who is the Real Deal and that's Jesus Christ. :clap: or Find one of your favorite Scriptures and get your title from that. Just getting started but have to go now.

My old Business Card (Before I got my own website) Read sometime like you were thinking about. It said  Steve Slayton Nature Photographer "Focusing on the Creature and the Creator." :groupwave:

Sorry I haven't updated this thread.

Someone on another message board suggested "The Neal Deal" and I chose to go with that one.  Now I just need to update my "About" section. :)
