What's in a name?

One of the first things you do when starting a blog is, among other things, come up with a name for it.  In my opinion, you want the blog's name to reflect what you plan to write about and / or gear the name towards those you hope with read said blog.  As I thought about these things, I came up with a list of possible blog names that included:

• Table for One
• Reservation for One
• Single in the Suburbs
• The Single Life
• Searching For....
• Looking Forward
• Teaching Myself
• In Search of Self
• Forward Thinking
• One Step Forward
• Best Foot Forward

And wouldn't you know it...all of those names are already existing blogs within this blog site?!?!  Clearly great minds are thinking alike but it amazed me as to how many of the options that first came to my mind had also already come to the minds of others.  Are there really that many of us who are single and searching for something (whatever that something is) to move us forward?

That got me thinking.  What are we singles looking for?  How do each of us go about finding whatever it is that we're looking for?  Are we looking to enhance what we already have or do a complete 180 degree change?  How will others respond to the changes we want?  For that matter, how will WE respond to the changes each of us want?  Do others realize / understand / respect the changes we view as important?

I can't say that I have this all figured out but it does give me pause to think that maybe I'm not the only one out there wondering what that next step will be and who is questioning on how to take the first step to get to where the path may lead.
