@ bogofdebt: Thanks again! Excited for everyone to read it, give me some feedback, and get some good conversations going!

Congrats on picking a name! What did you decide to go with?

.org is taken, but .net is available. I don't know if .net is worse than the single dash. I guess I'll wait for some others to chime in on their experience.

The bummer is that iheartbudgets.com isn't even a hosted or live site, it's probably owned by someone who is domain farming. I was thinking with the dash, I could emphasize it in my logo or something to get people used to it. Now that I think about it, I bet .net would be easier to remember instead of wondering "where do I put the dash?"

I'd have rather had no dash, but addvodka.com was taken by a vodka company (lol).

Have you considered using iheartbudgets.org? or .net?

Has anyone had luck with putting dashes in their domain. Like "I-HeartBudgets.com"? Or does that usually deter traffic? I think putting one dash in wouldn't be too bad…

Edit: I think I am really leaning toward "IHeart-Budgets.com", actually!!!!!!

What do you guys/gals think?

I would say stick with something short, easy to remember, and something that's kind of fun. I like i Heart Budgets because it pulls away from the obvious without hiding what your blog is about. Plus, I would be able to differentiate you from other bloggers with it. For instance, there are so many blogs that have the word "pennies" in them that sometimes I get confused with who is who; of course, I do read lots of the blogs and because I am a regular reader, I can differentiate the ones that I read, but the newer blogs can confuse me. It's possible that it's just me.

@ sooverdebt: I kinda like budget tweaker, but it is a little too....ecletic for my tastes :)

@ Nick: I like it, but I'm thinking a shorter name would be best. I'm hoping for some kind of two-word alliteration or phrase that'll get stuck in people's mind :). Thanks for the suggestion!

@ 20'sFinances: I do want to consider SEO for this domain name. I love to talk finances, and have honestly wanted financial counseling or some form of talking about personal finance to eventually be my day job, so I would love to pick the right name that helps me achieve this goal someday. I do agree that quality content is the best way to make this happen, but there is some importance to a good name :). Thanks for the advice!

@ Edward: Thanks for th vote of confidence. It's catchy, but I dunno. Still up in the air on that one.

@ jana: I like that. We are a young family, but I also want to really reach out to the young, single crowd as well. I think that have a good financial head on your shoulders before starting a family is EXTREMELY beneficial. So...hmmmm, Don't know! This is tough. I do completely agree that content is King in the blogosphere, so I plan to start writing once tax season subsides. I've got 20+ ideas already cookin', need to get it on (digital) paper! Thanks!

@ Pam: Great advice. I will definitely do that so I can be sure to have a larger, cohesive online presence. Thanks!

Seriously, keep 'em coming! I appreciate all the advice, and am super excited to find a blog name, but even more excited to get to writing.

Thanks everyone!

One totally unsolicited piece of advice. Even if you haven't named the site yet, just start writing. Don't get hung up in the details like a logo or design or even a name. Those can all be changed. Content is the most important.
