Pink Think: "He likes to wink and drink pink ink." - Dr. Seuss on the Yink in One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
This post answers a question asked here by SuZ, which was, "Why pink?"
I used to love red. But over the last few years, I have calmed to pink because I love being a girl, not so much warrior-woman-hear-me-roar.
I recently rediscovered the color purple. If I could wear purple every day of this month, I would. Fortunately, I only own five purple tops, so my family is lucky they don't have to think blueberry whenever they see me.
Yes, the things I think about to distract myself from queries...

It's a good thing I don't change blog names with each color obsession. I could have another blog called Purple Prose, for instance. As it is, I have a horse blog called Green-Broke and a horror blog called Black-Out.
Yep, I have color on my brain.
Here's why: when I was a child, I was shut up in the attic of an old house, deprived of all color.
Just kidding. It's just my overactive imagination talking. Hey wait a minute. That sounds like a good plot for a story! Excuse me a moment while I...

I named this blog Pink Ink because:
1. I love the color pink
2. I love to write
3. I love Dr. Seuss

Why Pink (Ink)

Pink Ink is a great name.
I made pink my signature color even.
I agree we are girls at any stage of our lives.
My blog name. Crazed Mind (use to be Travels through a Crazed Mind)
Well it is because I was committed when I was 35. I found out I had a mental illness my whole life and never knew it. And I am so thankful for the help. But at the same time I treasure my Crazed Mind because it is what me unique.
One day that line from Lewis Carroll popped into my head, and I said to myself, "That would be a perfect name for a blog about many things." I liked it so much, I immediately went out and claimed it, although I had to put hyphens in. It took me a few weeks before I actually started saying anything.
And that's where the name "The Walrus Said" came from.
you were locked in an attic????
kidding, I did read the post thoroughly and know it was a joke.
I sometimes don't even know if I like the name of my blog. The Extraordinary Orindary is quite cheesy, but it suits my feelings on my life. It's ordinary, but there are so many extraordinary things about it. Like the blue of my little one's eyes. Stuff like that. See? I'm cheesy. :)
I'm plain and my last name starts with 'V'. No explanation for the 'big' part.
I called it "Polenth's Quill" because my name is Polenth and it had writing stuff. Quill also has an older feel, more like a fantasy. I could have gone for the science fiction approach, but "Polenth's High-Tech Future Writing Gadget" wouldn't have fitted in the space.
And no, my blog name wasn't the most creative.
My daughter loves pink. It was hard for me at first since I have a die hard obsession with black. And then one day she came home with a pink and black striped hat and said, "look mom, it's the best of both of us." I had to agree. It was indeed. I still don't wear pink, but I respect it for the color it is. :) Loved your post.
It seems that I live on my laptop some days. Hense "My Life in a Laptop."
I love the color pink. But for a funny reason. In a writing exercise I wrote that my 6' 2" manly main character liked pink. And it stuck. Now if I need to use my MC I put on a pink shirt and he is there grumbling.
LOL! You make me giggle. :D
Something She Wrote first started as the name for my writing and editing business. I'd been thinking about the old Angela Lansbury show Murder, She Wrote, and was thinking something She Wrote. Wait! That's it! And I liked it so much, I used it for my blog, too. It's rather fitting, I think. ;)
I live right across the street from my blog's namesake. Additionally, I had a chat room persona (still do as a matter of fact) called Cedar Mountain, in which I played the Father Nature/Mother Nature bit to the hilt and beyond.
So when my friend suggested I start a blog, that was the first name that popped into mind.
I wouldn't dream of calling it anything else.
I agree with the others; Pink Ink is so catchy and cute. It made me visit your blog!
My other blog, "My Secret Candy" is because most people don't know of my nickname (you do now...). There's another blog just called Secret Candy and I was so mad about that at first. I'm over it now.
Oh yeah, I am obsessed with the color purple! I love that its the main color you choose in the Wealth are of Feng Shui. Though, I don't like it in cars.
I like to think and drink pink ink, too. :-)
I call my blog Pell Mel. Mel for my name and pell mel after the pokie Little Puppie's sibling Also, it is a word from the 1500's meaning confusion or disorder. Like my thoughts...
Pink Ink. I love the name. so catchy!
I had trouble choosing the name for my blog. It was someone else's suggestion, actually, but I thought about it and went with it. 'An Unusual Outlook on Life' does a pretty good job of describing my perspective on most situations; I don't think the same way a lot of other people my age seem to.
That is so cool!
Um. I have 811 posts up, three years, I think? At least two. And I still haven't come up with a name. This is a problem. Maybe I need to ask for suggestions.
Hi Jewel,
I think the name "Pink Ink" is very cool - and I love how your incorporate the "Pink Think" at the start. For me, "Jungle of Life" comes from the idea that life can seem like a jungle sometimes (well, mine does anyway!!) - and I'm working my way through, finding paths through that jungle that lead me on the journey of my life...
"He's kept alive in the chain of mental starvation,
Bone rail skinny, only feeding off frustration.
Unlike you who seem bred from corruption
Feeding off the plates of an ununited nation." - Wallflowers, Asleep at the Wheel
Lynette: Yeah, our experiences - good and bad - shape the person who we are. I admire you for being so open; you inspire me for being able to work through it!
Janet: I think when I saw your blog name, I thought of the Beatles song :-) but now I know better!
Heather of the EO: I HAD seen that phrase before -Extraordinary Ordinary - but didn't connect the two till now. (I used to wonder what county/region has EO initials - I take some things literally :-P) Great phrase, and it's so apt about motherhood!
BPV: I wouldn't have thought of you as the "plain" sort.
Polenth: Your blog name has a nice ring to it. And I love your first name. What does it mean?
Julie: My daughter doesn't like pink either, we're quite opposites in fact. This keeps her from raiding my closet :-) too much. That's cool your daughter recognizes the BEST in both of you.
Noble: I hear you about writing on the laptop. And any man who likes to wear pink is manly in my book!
Janna: That was my guess about your blog title, and yes, it's very fitting!
Georgie: You mean a literal mountain? Sounds awesome.
CC: Oh, and I forgot to say I picked "Pink Ink" because I have a thing for rhyming catchphrases :-) It's actually not the only one out there in webland, so I know what you mean about someone having something similar. But it's the only one with a Pinay blog-author that I know of :-P My Secret Candy is a fun name!
Melinda: Very clever! I love the play on your name and I've always thought your layout is cool.
Denea: *I don't think the same way a lot of other people my age seem to.* That's great.
Spy: You don't? Honestly? I've always thought it was "Spy Scribbler". How about "The Spy Who Wrote Me" or "Notes on the Sly"?
Lance: Yeah, the Pink Think was a fun twist on the name. Jungle of Life is very fitting, and you are a great safari guide.
Blackbird: Ah, I see now. Some days feel like that to me *asleep at the wheel* (How was the trip to the dentist? Or should I not be asking?)
I came up with my title because the most common question I got from people was "What are you doing in Mexico?" It's also the last sentence in the opening paragraph of my memoir (which is shelved for the moment).
Not too creative, but it fits. Now when I get that question, which happens a lot since I'm always finding friends on Facebook, I reply "funny you asked," and send them the link. :)
This is a great idea for a post and I love learning the reason behind the name of your blog!
"Barking Mad" is something the Brits say a lot. I picked it up when I lived over there with my British hubby. And it's kind of apropos for our family and all the crazy, funny stuff that happens -- especially as it relates to our pets and toddler.
My blog is called 'The Klutz's Corner" because I am a MAJOR klutz. It is also called corner for a reason too. It is my little tinny corner of the internet, where I can post what I want and do what I want with it. Plus it is a safe place unlike most of the internet.
Yep that is how it came to be :) Like you really like the color pink. I am obsessed with it I think... well some days I am. My favorite shirt is pink my favorite belt in pink with studs... yeah I could go on and on :D
Well, Best Posts of the Week is a little obvious. My personal blog, Not So SAHM is named that because I'm a stay at home mom, but I don't consider myself to be a very typical SAHM. Sometimes I want to change it, but I haven't come up with anything to change it to.
Loved this post... was shut up in an attic and deprived of colour... Actually, I think this has been a plot for a story. Just can't remember which one! Dr. Seuss is great!
I couldn't think of a good name but wanted to have a quirky blog so called it: Quirky Quest. However, as most people know me as Lady Fi, I'm gradually trying to change over to that name instead...
It actually went fairly well, except he wants to take my wisdom teeth out...grrrrrr
Melanie: I wondered that same thing!
Auds: As your last post attests! :-)
Poptart: Hey, Bella was a "klutz" too :-) though I don't think of you that way. As for pink, you should see my closet.
BPOTW: You love acronyms, obviously.:-) Not so SAHM says a lot in so little.
Lady Fi: It is??
*googles 'locked in attic'*
Are you thinking of Flowers in the Attic by VC Andrews?
I guess there goes one story plot.
Blackbird: Oh no. Grrr, indeed.
I love Pink Ink! It goes down really well mixed with vodka... of course, EVERYTHING goes down well with vodka... makes you burp these little pink bubbles... hehe Happy Saturday to you!
i love the name of your blog! very catchy! looking forward to reading more of your posts....
my blog is called My.M.Spot
Here's to Matrimony, Motherhood, Merlot and More!
kind of a play on the "g spot"? i am married. i am a mom. and i LOVE merlot. so it can encompass a little of everything......
Please don't name a blog "Purple Prose" - that's a euphamism for erotica!!! That would be like calling one "Turning the Air Blue" - an expression for swearing! LOL
melanie@don't: Hi, and thanks for stopping here.
CENA: Well, you have a Memorable Moniker!
Weston: Really? I had absolutely no idea. Thanks for the heads up :-) - not that I'm thinking of starting up another one. Three is plenty as it is...
visiting via BPOTW.
My blog is Thoughts from an Evil Overlord. That is a label/nickname given to me by some friends after taking the Jung personality test. I thought it was funny for a blog.
I don't think I've ever heard of anyone having a "horror blog" before. I'm a fraidy cat, so I think I'll stick with Pink Ink.
I had a hard time naming my blog since so many domain names were taken. It took me months to even start my blog because I was in need of a name (and I didn't want to keep changing it). Finally I just had to suck it up and come up with some random ideas. I sent my top three to a friend, and went with her advice (which actually wasn't my top choice). It all worked out in the end. I love my blog name.
Great name! Your profile picture is gorgeous too!!
I named my blog, Diaries of a Domestic Goddess because I am a SAHM and whenever I have to fill out my job on a form, I always write, Domestic Goddess.
really long story.
My teacher in photography once described one of my photos as to be peering into an oyster to see the tender protected bits. The vulernable parts. The naked truth revealed.
Hmm... ok not that long after all.
I find the name "pink ink" attractive. It is light (because it is a shade of red), playful and feminine. I like it!!
As for my site, I wish that I chose something shorter. It's quite a mouthful. Also, I'd prefer it to be more reflective of my intent in sharing about my personal journey.
Alison Wonderland because my whole life when I've said my name was Allison people have said "Like Allison Wonderland?" and I've wanted to say "no, you idiot, that's Alice IN Wonderland and you're too stupid to live" but I've restrained myself. But now I can just say "yes."
Elizabeth/Overlord: I always smile when I see your blog name :-)
Kate: Makes me hungry :-) I love what it implies.
Leah: Thanks. A great title for an important job.
Elizabeth: Very fitting.
Evelyn: Nice to see you here. Maybe you ought to, then :-)
Alison: I always thought it was a clever spin on the name.
I LOVE DOCTOR SEUSS TOO!!! Always have, always will.
Stopping by from BPOTW.
I too love Dr Seuss and pink (of course!)
My blog is named TMI because, well, I just give too much info about all the mundane, insignificant parts of my life. But I just can't help it!
Jannie: I'm not surprised :-)
Tara: I feel the same way!! :-)
I love pink. Having all boys I miss pink. I do however have a guest room that has a old pink iron bed, with pink laced curtains, etc. I even have pink towels in the brightly painted lime green bathroom walls. Do you think I needed a girl?
A Cricket in a Garden came to me because I love the garden. I feel like a little cricket sometimes in this big world. My nickname is Cricket so for me...I just went with it.
Tammy: I have two girls and they do not share my love of pink :-). Thanks to them I discovered girlhood comes in different color hues.
I'm with you on purple....
My blog is called The Raisin Chronicles because, as we grow older, we turn into raisins -- smaller, darker, a little more wrinkled and, hopefully, a little sweeter.
Pink is where it's at!! lol
I love the name of the blog! Pink is my fave colour, Pink rocks! The colour, not the singer, lol
I've wondered about certain blog names too and wanted to ask that exact question - why that name in particular? So it's interesting reading the answers here.
My reason is that I was looking for something catchy & I had an uncle who, growing up, would start singing "Joy To The World" whenever he saw me at Christmastime. ;o)
p.s. Congrats on your SITS feature!
hi from SITS. cute blog name, very orignal. I named mine Drawing Closer to him becasue that is my daily goal to draw closer to my heavenly father.
I think Pink Ink is a super cool name. I often get questioned on the name of my blog too (Quiskaeya). It has particular importance to me because it's another name for the country I come from.
Obviously you have a fun and "colorful" personality! My blog is named Maggie Sue Designs since I often use it to publicize my Etsy shop.

I love Dr. Seuss too! I could never get my kids as interested in him as I am.
My blog is named Reinvented because I love to decorate with remade items found at garage sales, thrift stores and flea markets. And, at this stage of my life, there are a few things about myself I'd like to "reinvent."
I love the stories behind blog names. Thanks for sharing.
My daughter is pink obsessed - but are all little girls not? And maybe bigger girls also.
Ha ha ha!
Happy SITS day!
I've always liked that line in "One Fish,Two Fish..." by Dr. Seuss.
My blog name is the Lopsided House in Bristling Acres. ...Every gosh darn picture hanging on the walls are crooked (at least to me). I'm constantly righting them. Also, in our house we have three girls:one guy (not as lopsided as some families go). The bristling acres comes from the extremely nasty thorny black locust trees. They have thorns that are many inches long. Youch! (oh...and I just couldn't think of anything clever)
lol..love that you have reasoning for your blog name!
Mrs.Incredible...or so they think
that's my blog name. I had a girl at work who would call me Mrs.Incredible (from the movie, The Incredibles). I had short dark hair at the time (not pink, like now) and told stories of the recent action of my gremlins. She thought I was like Mrs. Incredible. Yeah, give her a day in my house and it would've straightened her out! :)
Well...I love purple..but i don't look good in purple clothes..or pink for that matter...
..
I love Pink Ink! (I thought maybe you had a pink tattoo or something).
My blog is the Crafty Southern Girl, because (no brainer) I like to think of myself as being crafty and I'm Southern.
Pink Ink is a fantastic name. Anything that comes from Dr. Suess is great. My blog, Poetry and Hums, comes from a Pooh quote in The House at Pooh Corner. My food blog didn't get such a cool name.
Well, lets see... my address is spell2write which is a take on Montessori think - children learn best when they start learning spelling to learn to write to learn to read.
I opened my blog LONG before I ever wrote my first post, so now it's not so much a Montessori blog as it is about my life in general. Hence, the generic "My Life and How I Live It"
My subtitle is a better description as I have all girls who have tons of hairbows, a house full of toys, and a cat that sheds all the time. So sometimes I literally feel like I'm drowning in all that stuff...
Like the name! I love red AND pink, too. In fact I just love a lot of color. It makes me happy! Have you ever been to Meg's blog "whatever"? TONS of color on that blog...love it!
My blog "Boogers, Bibs, Books & Bubbles" was named because that is what my day is full of. My other blog "Rusty Cottage" was named because my husband and I inherited his parent's old cottage and we were in the process of fixing it up. But have since put that huge project to the side for various reasons.
Happy SITS day!
Hugs,
Anna
I named my blog Clio, which is the name we used to call our potential future daughter while she was still a fetus and hadn't been born and adopted yet.
I love pink and red...I understand. Dr Seuss is one of my favorite children's authors...I understand.
As for my Blog...DIVA SCRAPPER. I love to scrapbook...I'm addicted, passionate, creative...
Love the name. Mine is now back to Bumps in the Road: A Country Girl Trapped in Yuppie "Hell" cause I live in a neighborhood that is full of, how do I put this nicely, hellish yuppies...Absolutely crazy neighbors....It's actually kind of funny though.
I so wish I had chosen a different name. I like my blog name, but I don't love it and I had 2 others that I really loved, but at the time, I thought I was going to go in a different direction with my blog and the name I chose seemed to fit better.
And then, of course, I changed direction.
Sigh.
Congrats on your SITS feature! I really adore your blog and your featured posts. I think I'll hang out here for a while. :)
In answer to your question, I named my blog after something that I say. I didn't know that I said it, but every year, my new students would call me on it the first time I use this phrase. Here's the situation: I'm calling the class to order, and we're getting ready to start a new ____. I say, "Ok, class, here's what let's do: ______"
Invariably, the class erupts. "What?"
"What did you say?"
"Can you even say that? You're an English teacher!"
...and so on.
They get used to it. And I think it's a great, fitting title for my random blog of randomness.
I think it's a fun name.
Mine is not creative, in fact quite dull and boring.
Melissa Papaj Photography...mostly so the search engines could find me...lol
Visiting from Sits...
I think Pink is a great name for your blog. For a long time mine was my family name but the blog is mine and it's really all about me isn't it?
Someone once told me a story about how we are all living our own "lifetime subscriptions" and so the name stuck with my blog.
Congrats on being blog of the day!
Happy SITS Day!
Pink Ink is a good short name.
Mine is Vickie's Scrapbooking and Tidbits. I wanted to show off some of my pages and post a little bit of my life. Now, I do more of the little stuff than Scrapbooking. I want to change my blog name to Vickie's Tidbits, but I would have to tell people and that is like moving and changing your adress. A pain in the caboose:)
Love the name and the reason behind it. I got my blog name from a Jane Austen quote. =)
I named my blog what I did because kids are always here hanging with my kids or we are always having someone over just hanging out. Hence the name.
I love all the creative and fun blog names out there. It was great reading these comments on the stories behind the names. We are an imaginative and talented bunch!
My main blog is called Screaming Mimi, cause my nickname is Mimi & my blog often contains my rants!
Great reason - I named my blog mindless rambling because there's not really much point to it... other than my mindless rambling. I don't give out sage advice, or offer any particular service to the needy. Nope, just rambling, that's me.
I named my blog "Tales of a Firedancer" because
1) It's stores about my life
2) Firedancers are the symbol of the Dave Matthews Band. And I am a loyal lover, follower of the band. I consider myself to be a firedancer!!!
:) Betsy
PS Happy SITS Day!
HI I am dropping over from SITS...
I love your name and I love checking out other peoples blog names and reason behind them....
My blog is SPOTLIS and you have to click on here to read why that is what it is called....http://spotlis.blogspot.com/2008/01/so-here-is-story-behind-spotlis.html
and no I am not a neat freak...LOL...not at all....LOL..
I enjoyed reading your blog..will be back again to check it out...
I love the name of your blog! It's a great name!
I named my Crazy Adventures in Parenting because "Adventures in Parenting" was taken, and my blog really is about the crazy adventures on has while parenting, sooooo ;)
My blog name is boring. I want to change it to something clever, but I don't think I know how. Any suggestions???
I named my blog "Sunshine and Bubblegum" because I like sunshine and bubblegum. Clever huh?
I named my blog after a dream I had where my husband kept saying "what's all the strawberry ruckus about?" And thus the name of our blog.
The name of my blog is Cinnamon, Spice and Everything Nice. I love cinnamon and baking with cinnamon!!! And because I used to have the poem "Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of" hanging in my room when I was a little girl.
I love the color pink too. Your blog is great.
hey i hav 3 blogs -
1.Princess of Blandings - I love 'Little Princess' and P. G Wodehouse's Lord Emsworth series. And of course believe i am a princess.
2. Viewing pleasure - a photo journal
3. I Learnt this today - to record wht i learnt as a writer
came from SITS. I, too, love Dr. Seuss.
My blog name, "Perks of Being Me" comes from one of my favorite books- "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." It's a great coming of age story and I have found though reading that book, I've started to learn that it's ok just being me. And I should embrace all of me.
Came over here through SITS today. Enjoy your SITS day!
I love it! And I love the thought behind it! My blog is called "Randals Wife... Charmaine's Life" it started out as just "Randal's Wife" but one day I realized that while I love my role as wife and mother, that's not *only* who I am. So, my blog is a lot about my family, but it's also got a lot of just me thrown in also!
LOVE the name and the blog site. I am a huge Suess fan as well! I'm glad to I popped over from SITS!
Great blog name! Happy SITS day ;)
Mine is "All You Need is Love," for 2 reasons:
1. Completely obsessed with The Beatles. Love love love them.
2. It took me a long time to realize that all other things are trivial if you have love in your life. My blog is a tribute to that philosophy.
Pink Ink is a perfect name!
I like the name of your blog. I'm a pink lover also.
I think Pink Ink is a great name. I named my blog Green Gracious because it came to me, I liked it, and it seemed appropriate that I am blogging about being grateful for the planet and taking care of it.
I love pink. And I named Girly Do's because it is girl hair do idea's and I am not very creative. haha-- but now that there are other hair blogs that have followed mine I think I like my name the best. I know that sounds big headed or whatever. I just think it fits me well. Happy Sits day.
I really like Pink Ink- and Dr Seuss.
I chose my name because from the time my girls were very young everyone used to call me the head dictator of the loonyverse.
Naturally since I bought the domain name they are all blogging with me but since I am head dictator it can still be my loonyverse. ;-)
I really like your name. The name for my blog is 2 of my nicknames put together.
I think your blog name is very catchy! It's one of the first blogs I visited when I joined SITS... Why did I name my blog what I did? Because everyday is an "adventure" and I am a "mom" and I spend way more time in my "minivan" than any one person should so "Adventures of a Minivan Mom" it was! Happy SITS Day! Enjoy your day to shine!
You have to love Dr. Suess. :) Happy SITS feature day, by the way.
I named my blog "Circling the Square Table" because I find it difficult to run around a table with corners, and I compare that to life...in a way. LOL Circles are smooth arcs, and corners on tables are always there to bruise you up...so life is like trying to circle perfectly around the juts it throws at you. It's the way my mind works, forgive me!
pink ink is very cool! Love the actual meaning behind the name.
again happy featured day!
I'm all about the red lately.
And I too love Dr. Seuss.
I did my senior year AP English paper on his books.
Love your name, I'm quite girly and I have three daughters and I love, love, love daisies, and polka-dots. They all make me happy. So thepolka-dotdaisy came to be.
My sister named mine - My Pretty Purse. I guess because I wouldn't shut up about my new pretty purse! I talk about girly things, so it fits!
Pink is a great color :-) Stampin Mom, hmmm...I had a million creative names made up and a lot of them were taken, the others...to hard to remember. I love to stamp and I'm a mom...brilliant, hehe!
I love pink too!! It's my FAVORITE color! (if you look at my blog you'll see how much) I like purple too, but don't have as much purple to wear either. I'm not sure why I named my blog what I did... maybe because it's catchy.
Happy SITS day to you! And -- my title...well, my hubby came up with it. I had chosen Snips, Snails, and Puppy Dog Tails. He said it wasn't original enough, so he called out Boogers, Screams, Headaches, and Dreams. Boogers b/c we have two boys who ARE boogers and pick them, too. Screams b/c the baby LOVES to scream to hear himself SCREAM! Headaches b/c well...I get one after a day in my house! Dreams b/c that's what we all need after a nice long day! LOL! You asked!
I call my blog Scripted Notions. Then I define Notion as 1. an idea, opinion, or concept; 2. a vague understanding or impression; or 3. a sudden desire or whim.
And that's pretty much what I write... ideas, opinions, concepts, vague understandings or impressions, or whims.
I love pink too. I named my blog on a whim, only to find a month later someone already used the name. Like wearing the same dress to a dance, so embarrassing.
My name says it all...
I'm Not Your Average Soccer Mom...because well, I ain't. I'm not like ANY of the other mothers. Trust me.
I think mine is pretty self-explanatory as well. Unfortunately.
Happy SITS day!
Happy SITS Day! Pink Ink goes very well. We love PINK and my 3yo LOVES Purple. Let's see my blog is tied to my website which is named after my 3 fairy princesses. I have little girls who love to dress up as Fairy Princesses therefore I have a garden of them...they look so Fairy like when they dress up and play in the yard during spring and summer and play with flowers and there is where my inspiration came from. Hence the name "The Fairy Princess Garden" cheesy, huh?
I love your name. Pink is so awesome.
My blog name is Home of the Lazy Dog because, well, I fancy myself a lazy dog!
Your blog name is fantastic. It's catchy and cute, and different. :)
Love your blog name. Pink is fantastic and girlie!
I think your blog name is totally cute. I wanted to name mine A Brand New Me, because I have so many great plans for myself this year. However, every variation of that name was already taken, so I chose This Is The Year, because this is the year I will make it all happen!
I like pink in every shade! I love the name.
My family blog name is rather boring...4kennedys...for well...the four of us. But I did just start a new blog that I love the name of....Butterflies found at www.doyougetbutterflies.blogspot.com. It is a blog for me to post about everything that gives me butterflies!
happy Sits day!
Love your post. My blog is Little Everyday Things. It took me a while to come up with a name, and even though I think it's a tad long, I love it :) My blog is all about those little everyday things that are part of my life that I want to share. Happy SITS day!
I think my blog name would make a cool name for coffee.
Hugs and Mocha,
Stesha
LOL
You cracked me up with the "when I was a child, I was shut up in the attic of an old house, deprived of all color." That was funny stuff. Well, unless it was true of course!
Let's see. I am a married mom of 3. The Fam Five. As simple as you can get! LOL
I guess an attic is better than a basement... less dungeon-y.
I wanted a line that said it all, and cleared up any questions right from the start....
Hence.... "The Dog's a boy too"
Happy SITs day!
I am an accountant & my husband works for the state Department of Revenue. We joke (ok, not a joke) that when we go on a romantic date, we talk about taxes, depreciation, and the basis of partnership interest. I decided that "The Amortization of Goodwill" sounds sexy, even if it isn't. The other blog is "The Matriarch's Corner" & I think I was just full of myself that day. Or channeling my mother, may she please rest in in peace.
I love your explanation & will continue to check out your blog!
I named mine url address "safebeauty" b/c all of the other creative ones I wanted were taken and that name was still truest to what I wanted to convey. My page is named Natural & Organic Body Care b/c I review more than just skin care products. I want everyone to have full BODY awareness....tada! That's how I named my blog.
My best, Lynn

A name is important. Pink Ink is great. One of my blogs titles has to do with my EX & his wedding. Some friends & family members say I'm "letting him define me." I say it's just too good (and funny) to give up.
Congrats on Pink Ink.
My husband teased me at some point during the first season of Desperate Housewives that I was a desperate housewife. I answered that I was not so much desperate as reluctant and my blog name was born.
Pink Ink IS a great name, and I do have to also say that I LOVE your header! Did you make it? I wish I could actually get away with having multi-colored lipstick and all that jazz :)
My blog is Thrifty & Chic Mom because I love deals but I also love fashion and I am mom so it is me in a nutshell.
Great comments, everyone! I love learning the story behind your blog names. I'm having fun checking the blogs out!
Jaden: I love my header, too, but no, I didn't make it. Sharnee over at Acornglue.com (see the button on the bottom left sidebar) customized this blog template for me to make it three-column with header buttons.
You are so fun! I really enjoy your blog. My blog name was created with no imagination so my link is still boring. However I changed my heading to Beauty Unveiled which is the name of a ministry I started at our church. The goal is to see women set free from wounds of their pasts so their true inner beauty in Christ can be unveiled. Every woman has a beauty of their own to unveil.
A little deep...sorry!
My blog is called Scientific Nature of the Whammy. It's from one of my favorite shows, The X-Files in an episode called Pusher.
Mulder: "Well ninjas are said to have the ability to cloud the minds of their opponents."
Scully: "Are we talking kung fu movies, Mulder?"
Mulder: "He certainly clouded the mind of that judge, Scully."
Scully: "Even if Modell could, he didn't need to. We barely had a case against him."
Mulder: "Oh we had enough to get past a simple preliminary hearing. Modell psyched the guy out. He put the whammy on him."
Scully: "Please explain to me the scientific nature of the whammy."
My tagline is 'looking for the silver lining behind life's whammies'.
i like it! nice to see that's the reason for the name! and hey, i'm a day late, but happy FB girlie!!! oh and fab fab fab name!
I'm with you on the purple... but ummmm blueberry? Blueberries are blue, aren't they?
And my blog (Honest & Truly!) is from a saying I use frequently... and it's the idea I want to get across -- honest and truly, this is my life.
Michelle: I don't know why I said blueberries. I guess I meant cooked blueberries because they turn out purple in muffins :-)
Happy SITS day!
My blog is called Critical Mass because I started it as part of a weight loss plan. I had reached "critical mass" myself.
My blog's main theme is all about my life, and since I may be a mom to six kids soon, I knew that there would be a lot of chaos going on.. hence Chaos Chronicles.
I chose Fruitymama because I was mom that really wanted to be better at praticing the Fruits of the Spirit. It also kind of become a joke that I am just crazy so I guess I am a fruit in that since to.

Your blog is great!!!!
Well, reading your post, I realized something...I am BORING!!! My blog name is "The Lords Family"...and only cause that is our last name....you have inspired me to branch out...and be CReAtIve...!! Love the post, Love the pink...and especially the random thoughts...it is healthy!!
I love the name! Mine is In the Treetop. I have three kids, we live in the country, and I have a lot of their friends over so one day I realized my house was like a big treehouse:)
very cute name & blog.
I like Dr Seuss too !
What's not to love about Dr. Suess? And Pink Ink fits here!
My blog is titled, "Some Thing I Think" and it is the perfect place for me to chronicle my journey towards publication, random/funny thoughts, memories, rants and opinions.
Thanks for asking :)
I really love your blog and your writing style. I came here to check out your graphic after you said on AbsoluteWrite that you're thinking of changing it, but I really love what you've got to be honest.
Meanwhile, my blog is called Le Franco Phoney because I would like to be a Francophone now that I live in France, but I know I'm a phoney because I'm not French.
Thanks April. I have this idea for a graphic knocking around in my brain, but since it costs some money, I'm not in a rush :-)
I've seen your blog name before and I thought it was very clever.
Hi Jewel,
Your pink ink looks great.wait.That's not the word.It's "awesome" :) . You are doing really well.
I named my blog as "Thinking park".I'm really like to think about life and people from different angles. And always love to understand about people and study them.So when I was going to start a blog that name just came into my mind( I don't know from where :) )
Anyway me too write about life , happiness, humanity and some other stuff. Have written some poems too ( which are suck. hehee.... :)
Good luck keep up your great works!
Hi Vikum,
Thanks for stopping here and telling me about your blog. I checked yours out and you have some great thoughts there!
Keep blogging,
Jewel
Pink is a great color and Pink Ink is a great name for your blog. Thanks for sharing the meaning behind it!
My blog Positively Present (http://positivelypresent.typepad.com) has the name that it does because, after years of being negative and Eeyore-like, I've decided to take my attitude into my own hands and try to live each day as positively and as present as possible.
My new motto is "live happily ever right now."
Hope you get a chance to check out the blog and you enjoy it!
Welcome, Positively Present!
I love your philosophy. Things can't always be perfect, but I agree life is too short to dwell on the negative. We are truly blessed we just need to open our eyes.
Wow, interesting blog. You are a fantastic writer. I named my blog Potential 2 Success because I use to feel as though I had the potential to achieve more than I was (family, health, business, whatever). When I restructured my life and found the keys I was looking for, I decided to pass that info along.
Thanks for stopping here, Ralph. I've checked out your blog, and I admire you for what you are accomplishing. Keep up the good work!
I love the name! Your posts are fun and real! I just started blogging and am working on a focus for my blog and redesigning the visual of the site. Some days I think, why do I need to have a focus? Can't I just write?
Hi CougarTales! Welcome to blogging. I wouldn't worry about a focus for now. Just write posts that you want to, and the focus will find you :-).
Thanks, PinkInk, for checking out my blog and the kind words! My new design will be up soon. Hope you become a "follower"!
I like the name Pink Ink. I Love Dr. Seuss! Don't know why, because I've never had kids, but I've just alway enjoyed reading his books. Maybe it's my inner child wanting to come out.HaHa!Anyway, I just started blogging the first part of September, and my blog's name is PJ'sPrayer Line.Anyway, the purpose I started my blog is I enjoy witnessing to and praying with people and for them. I tell people if they would like, to leave their name and/or a prayer request in my comments section and I will place them on the side of my blog for people to see and pray for. I try to be as uplifting as possible because there is so much Yuck in this world. My blog name may not be very catchy or original as some, but it is heart-felt and I hope people will come and "chat" or leave prayer requests.
Sorry, (I tend to run on). I must have been a preacher in another life! LOL No offense intended Preachers! I love long-windedness! I bet you couldn't tell!
Come chat with me!

Good for you, PJ. Thanks for stopping here and keep on blogging!
I love your blog name. I'm a huge Dr. Seuss fan. I have a star-bellied sneech that sits on my printer at work ;) I also want to have my child (when I have one) to have a Dr. Seuss room- I've already bought some stuff for it :)
My blog- Laugh.Write.Play- I named it because I love to laugh and find humor in almost everything. Write- well because I love to write, of course, and Play- for all the stuff in between :)
Great post!
