In an old Episode of The Simpsons, Homer and his neighbor Ned are in their front yards. Ned is telling Homer that there are a lot of patches of crab grass in his lawn. Homer says it's only an issue because it has a bad name. Everybody would love it if it had a cute name, like "elf grass".
What's in a name? A heck of a lot, actually. Names are how people remember what things are. Many names may seem random or arbitrary, but they all come from somewhere., and they all mean something.
Think about how your names sound, how they feel, and what they imply. Do they sound strong? Do they sound cute? Do people giggle when they hear it? None of these are bad things by themselves, but if they don't match your intent, they'll fall flat.
About Me
- Kevin Bahler
- I am a writer. A writer is one who writes. By the same logic, I am also a thinker, an observer, and a puzzle solver. I am a graduate from the State University of New York at Cortland with a degree in Professional Writing. The idea of the program is that one studies all three aspects of writing as a whole: Creative Writing, Technical Writing, and Rhetoric. The knowledge I have gained in those subjects is put to use in every aspect of my life. The worst thing a person can be is boring. I am most interested in people who can pique my interests. An example is people who can correctly use the word 'pique'.
