What's in a name?

[stephbg]

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 have always liked 'propping up a dodgy memory' though I would be inclined to lose the 'it's for me to keep track of myself'--though to be honest I didn't even know it was there til you pointed it out.

I do think though that the blog title is not something that people care that much about with lj blogs because you find them and refer to them by username--as evidenced by the first several people thinking you are referring t 'stephbg'--if you were to be writing on a different blog platform I think that it would be more of an issue, though I would still like 'propping up a dodgy memory'.
