Hello out there...
Due to living abroad half the time and inherent misery, I ve moved away from
performing and gone back to writing stuff, mostly sketches and monologues.
As an outlet, just to get something down and out every day, I'm going to start a blog and record
some bits which might go into a podcast -with the help of tech-savvie friends.
My first quandary is what to call it /them? Any advice from readers, listeners, creators on naming would be very useful please... There's been a lot of conflicting advice from mates and googling for answers.
Should blog and podcast have the same name?
Should I use just my name for the blog? Darrenlhoskins.com or the closest I can get? -Seems a bit cold and podcast will be more of a communal effort.
There are some nice names that are from well known jokes or sayings... I thought "Buttersidedown.com", but that's taken, so I thaught "Butter-side-down.com". Is that too unwieldy and is anything with 'down' in it too depressing to pull people in? -Though it is more 'me' maybe.
"Buttersideup.com " is gone, so I tried similar words, " Butterslideup.com" sounds too analsexy, or is that good?
Should it be something more personal to me ? Or should I avoid anything that needs any explaining? - I wanted to mix the show biz glamour of " Les Mis" with my late Dads very unshowbiz
name of Les Hoskins.. Le Cabaret de Les Hoskins or " Cabaretdeleshoskins.com" as a domain name. Much too complicated? Would the French leave out the h in Hoskins ? Any variation you can think of please?
I was brought up on a farm, my Dad was always comparing me with the more outdoorsy boy from the farm next door, Vince Martin could carry 2 sheep under each arm. How about
"2sheepundereacharm.com" ? Or any mention of sheep not a good idea?
Apologies for rambling, big thanks for any help...
