Choosing a name for your blog

I’ve renamed my blog!
Let me tell you, I now understand how difficult it must be to name a baby icon wink Choosing a name for your blog
Sarcasm aside, I’ve been cracking my brain trying to think of a suitable new name.

If you look at the url you’ll notice I’ve changed the name from ‘missmays’ to ‘msafropolitan’.
Missmays was a composition of miss + my initials, M.A.Y.S.
MsAfropolitan however, is personal but also descriptive of my blog.

By the way, Urban Dictionary has a definition of Afropolitan, and Taiye Tuakli-Wosornu’s grand piece ‘What is an Afropolitan?‘ is pretty much the reason behind the phrase.

All in all I feel pleased and excited about the new name. I hope you will too. Let me know what you think?
Although my content won’t change per se, I’m looking forward to the increased sense of focus this will bring to my blogging.

    Missmays was cool, but so is MsAfropolitan. If your content stays as 'wicked' I'm happy with the changed name. It may even bring you more readers. Good luck with this one.

    You write beautifully, much more, your thots and opinions (analysis) of situations are quite fascinating.
