  1. Decide if you want your domain name to be obvious or creative.
  2. Put together a list of keywords related to your blog's topic.
  3. Create various domain name options using those keywords then search for the availability of each.

I am in the process of starting a blog and choosing a name is not that easy. Most of the good names are gone. Well, back to some more brain storming.
