In a post about this very well-written blog, Brandnama says a few interesting things. He says, sometimes, your blogurl may not be the best name for your blog and that your blogname can allude to some of the more interesting things your url does not or cannot. Hmm...so is it a good idea to give the same thing two different names? I don't think so, and the title of this post illustrates the problem Shyam's naming choice will confront him with.
If you have two different names for the same thing/ person, it only adds to the noise. I thnk Shyam should give his/her blog the same title as that of the url. The descriptor space is where he should look at adding an interesting story. A descriptor is like a baseline and that's where you build in the mystery, the drama and the other juice you want the name to allude to.
Oddly enough, Shyam has chosen to title his/her blog rather more boringly than the name he has chosen for the blogurl. The blogurl, madatadam, is an interesting choice of name and is grounded in some good naming principles. So whatever prompted Shyam to title his blog should be dismissed. If Shyam does want to say something interesting about dreams, he/she should tag it to madatadam.
Shyam, the public face/name/calling card of your url should be the url. Your url is too interesting to be tucked away behind the routine nature of your blog title. People will remember 'madatadam' better than 'what dreams may come'. So why not make it madatadam and tag it with what dreams may come?
