Reader Question: I Need Your Advice!

I have wanted to write about today’s topic for quite a while - and since it concerns the blog, I thought why not ask the people who are actually reading it!

It’s a bit of a funny subject and one which I can’t quite get settled on - and that’s my blog name! I find blog names to be such a bizarre topic. I have renamed this blog at least three times now. Once when I was first starting out, and again five years ago when I was focused on fashion (hence the URL, “wishiwaswearing.com”!) About two years ago, when I switched my focus to interior design, I spent hours and hours brainstorming names. But y’all, naming a blog is hard! You want something that people can pronounce and don’t feel awkward saying out loud, something that somehow feels niche but can encapsulate all different kinds of topics, and something unique yet simple, which, given today’s blogscape, is harder said than done. To be totally honest, I find it all a little weird and cringe-y. I’ll also note, it feels a little embarrassing not to be able to come up with a blog name I love, when I have endless topics I want to write about (there are SO many good posts coming up!).

Before I commit to “Toile and Tide” and change my URL again (it’s an ordeal), I want to be sure, and at the moment I’m just not! So, I’m bringing it to you, my readers. Now that I have some very decent traffic each month, it feels like it’s time to settle down and commit. I’m asking to you vote below for the blog name you like best, and if you simply like “Toile and Tide” or have an idea or comment to share, please do so in the comments below!

Thank you all for reading and following along, your support means the world to me! If you haven’t yet, be sure to subscribe below as well!
