I decided to start a blog. I've tried in the past..but lately seeing everyone's cool blogs is making me feel somewhat leftout. So I logged on to blogger and tried to put in a boring old blog name. It was unavailable so i started looking around at how people come up with their blog names. They suggested using unusual names so I googled "Rare words". It may be somewhat WITZELSUCHT (a feeble attempt at humor)..but it's my blog and i'll do what i want to.
The first word I found pertinent was ABDERIAN...'Given to incessant or idiotic laughter'. This is a common occurance in our household so I put it first on my list and thought I could maybe work it into our blog name. Next word: ADOXOGRAPHY 'Skilled writing on an unimportant subject'. I thought that interesting since...isn't that what a blog is sometimes?? Hahah! Next: AEOLIST 'A pompous windy bore who pretends to have inspiration. That could work. Sometimes I pretend to have inspiration...LOL. Next: AUTOHAGIOGRAPHER 'One who speaks or writes in a smug fashion about their own life and accomplishments' I thought "HEY! I'm still in the A's and I've found 4 cool words that would describe my blog perfectly!! HAHA!!
EXSIBILATION 'The collective hisses of a disapproving audience' I thought-that could be the result of this blog?! Maybe....
FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION 'The categorising of something that is useless or trivial' Also pertinent...as my blog will probably end up being trivial in nature AND The blog name would probably be available!!
GOSSYPIBOMA 'A surgical sponge accidently left inside a patient's body' Dude...I didn't know there was a name for that!! Why didn't I learn that in my OR course? LOL-interesting though not a consideration for my blog name.
HADEHARIA 'The practice of constantly using the word 'Hell' in speaking' What the HELL? Who decides to make up names like this? Funny..though also not pertinent to my blog name.
HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPEDALIAN 'Pertaining to extremely long words' It's at this point that I'm like....what website is this?? I still don't know.
INANILOQUENT 'Speaking foolishly or saying silly things'...could be a blog name...since i'm not a great writer and i'll probably try to compensate with humor-mine would probably be full of INANILOQUENCY (i just made that up...sounds good hey....they should add it to that website)
HAMARTITHIA 'Being likely to make a mistake' Also likely with my writing skills.
LETHOLOGICA 'The inablility to recall a precise word for something' Huh...I didn't know there was a word for that either...but I suffer from this all the time!!! Wait...it's on the tip of my tongue....
MYTACISM 'The incorrect or excessive use of the letter M' .......Really? Really?
ONYCHOPHAGY 'The habit of biting one's fingernails' I also suffer from this. But it's worse when my mother in law is near....is there a word for that? MOTHERINLAWEXCESSIVEONYCHOPHAGY 'The habit of biting one's fingernails more excessively while their mother in law is near' (I'm just kidding...I made that one up too. But it could be legit...if you only believe.....)
POLYPHLOISBOIAN 'Making alot of loud noise or racket' This IS my life with 3 kids...this could be my blog name!!! Put it to the top of my list...
QUIDNUNC -for those scrabblers out there (Jodi...i'm talking to u)...here is an unusual Q word. 'One who always wants to know what's going on'. I think this is a term to describe facebookers.
STRIKHEDONIA 'The pleasure of being able to say 'to hell with it' ' Hmmm....close second? Put it under Polyphloisboian.
ULTRACREPIDARIAN 'Of one who speaks or offers opinions on matters beyond their knowledge' A good blog name...certainly not for mine however.
Finally....at the end of the list: YCLEPT 'by the name of; called'
It's like it was meant to be...YCLEPT DEVENNEY. Perfectly encompassing our family name..but in an unusual fashion. AND I got to learn a bunch of cool new words. Anyone who wants to check out the website...here's the link: http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/gswithenbank/unuwords.htm
Haha awesome!! Great name and great words! I will have to remember that Q word.
ReplyDeleteI think that Hadeharia also apply's to me. Saying Hell just seems to get my point across nicely.
Lol.
