Help needed! Blog names?

[vintagewitch]

 Hey dreamwidth!

So some really cool things have been happening for me lately. I got over some social anxiety, and put it out on twitter and facebook that I'd like to do more tarot readings for other people. I've been practicing for over ten years, and I'm at a point where I need to read for others to learn more. 

I now have 13 readings set up, and more people are showing interest.

For a while, I've been feeling drawn to write more and be more open about my eclectic pagan practices. I've thought about maintaining a blog. I believe I've written a bit about this here, but this intense interest in my abilities and my take on this practice has me thinking I should do a bit of an experiment. See if I can make a bit of a business out of this. 

I'm also increasingly using Twitter for witchy things, but often need to use it professionally (using my real name). So I'm thinking that I need to create a pagan-specific account, just in case I end up tweeting for work in the near future. 

And because names are hard and scary to pinpoint, I'd LOVE if you could help me out by filling out this google poll!

just a general note on names: if it is easier to remember/spell/type, that is a good thing for my brain. and i suspect, others as well. :)

Yay thanks! You think "Northern Lights Witch" is easy enough to remember?

I picked "Northern Lights" because I thought it was the coolest. However, I will admit that I have never lived in the frozen north. Is it a common name in Minnesota? Here in the PNW it feels like one business in ten is called "Cascade" or "Northwest" or something similarly region-themed. And there are an excess of Portland businesses named after roses or bridges.

That's a good point! I live in the Twin Cities, and we definitely have a lot of businesses with "Northern" or "North" in the title, but fewer businesses that are "Northern Lights" specific - if I were in Duluth or further north, that might turn into an issue.

I'm thinking my audience for the blog will not necessarily be local, so people will probably have less saturation of "Northern Lights"
