Okay, so I’ve been thinking about starting a gluten-free blog for a while now. I mean, I’ve been gluten-free for like, five years, and I’ve gotten pretty good at whipping up some killer meals that don’t taste like cardboard. Plus, I’m always getting asked for recipes and tips, so I figured, why not share my gluten-free wisdom with the world? But there was one big hurdle: I needed a name. A good one. Something catchy, you know?
Brainstorming Like Crazy
First, I started brainstorming. I grabbed a notebook and just started jotting down every word that came to mind related to “gluten-free.” Think “wheat-free,” “celiac,” “grain-free,” “delicious,” “healthy,” and so on. I filled up pages with random words and phrases. Most of them were pretty terrible, to be honest. “Gluten-Free and Fabulous”? Yeah, no. “The Wheatless Wonder”? Cringe.
Trying to Describe My Thing
Then, I tried to narrow it down. What was my blog going to be about, really? I want to focus on easy, everyday recipes, not like, fancy stuff you can only make for special occasions. And I definitely want to show people that gluten-free food can be just as tasty as the “regular” stuff. So I started playing around with names that reflected that. “Everyday Gluten-Free Eats”? Maybe. “The Simple Gluten-Free Kitchen”? Getting warmer, but still not quite there.
Narrowing It Down
After a while, I had a list of, like, 20 potential names. I read them out loud a bunch of times. Some of them sounded okay at first, but then when I said them a few more times, they just felt clunky or weird. I also started thinking about how the name would look as a website address. Let’s face it, nobody wants to type out a super long, complicated URL. It needs to be simple and make sense.
- Gluten Free Goodness
- Gluten Free Life
- Simply Gluten Free
- Happy Gluten Free
- My Gluten Free Journey
- Joyfully Gluten Free
Getting Feedback
I was kind of stuck at this point, so I decided to ask my friends and family for their opinions. I sent out a group text with my top five name ideas and asked them to vote for their favorite. It was actually kind of fun seeing what everyone thought. A couple of the names got totally roasted, which was helpful, even if it was a little brutal.
And so I finally settled with the name “Simply Gluten-Free”, which is pretty good I guess. Hope you guys love it!
