What's in a name?

I sometimes wonder if I should change the name of my blog to something a little more dignified, witty or clever. And then I wonder if I'm being unacceptibly pretentious. At that point I realise that no-one but myself is paying attention. But then I look at the counter and think, well, *someone's* paying attention. Then I remind myself to come back to reality.

But in the end I have to ask: Does anyone give a damn what the thing is called? And do you care about yours?

ETA: I refer not to my username, but the blog name "Propping up a dodgy memory: it's for me to keep track of myself"

I love the title! And in fact, have pinched it on occasion when referring to why I write posts for my 'professional' blog. I really write for me to remember stuff, 'cos there are days when my memory is crap, and then there are the times when I learn something and know I'll need it again later, but it could be 2 to 3 years before I do, and I just *know* I'll forget how to do it again. So I write it down and share it. If someone finds it useful, that good; if not, it doesn't matter - it's my brain dump for 'propping up my dodgy memory'.
