Deciding on a new name for your Blog or social networking site? First, pick a name and stick with it. Unlike a dot com name, there are now dozens, if not hundreds of site where you may want to use your blog, IM (Internet Marketing), or social marketing brand name. Yes, these are brands--whether for business or pleasure, so choose them carefully and thoughtfully.
Here's some tips from Kutenda's blog that also point you to a helpful website where you can check to be sure your name is available (as I did with mine). Consider your social media name as part of your brand family. More and more, I'm seeing this name on business cards and websites.
Researching the availability of your blog name name now (just like you would your dot com website name) will likely save you time and money later on if you find out beforehand that you are not the only "Dallas Diva Chef" or "Yoga Yoda" out there blogging.
If you are just starting out - or, if at this point, you’re just focused on one platform - choose a name you can stick with, if still possible. Fortunately, to do that, you don’t have to go to every social media tool site. Visit Check Username instead. All you need to do is type in your desired username, and it automatically checks availability across a whole host of social platforms.
