OUGD603 - Collaborative blog - Naming ideas

Following the collation of our research it was now time to begin the process of naming the blog. For the name we wanted to communicate the concept of forging relationships and dialects through common interests, but also highlighting how the blog is a platform for collaboration. We therefore decided to undertake the task by separately brainstorming ideas, then gathering the ideas together.






My ideas above aim to be bold and quick on the tongue, as a overcomplicated name would deter I believe. I wanted something that wouldn't need a second explanation so something decisive was required. Notes next to each name explain the meaning behind the individual names on both pages.  

Once we felt we'd named as many as possible each, we then presented the ideas while selecting our favourites (circled in the pictures) From there we made a list of the names, then asked peers to name the first thing that came to mind when they seen the name. This would test the meaning of each word and the relation to our ideas.




























From this feedback it was obvious which names were the most clear in terms of relating to the idea of the blog and our original intentions. Ones that stood out for our peers were So-So and Cahoots but myself and Luke also felt these two along with Plug were the best solutions. From here we further discussed each name in relation to the blog and decided upon So-So. In depth So-So can mean a number of things, firstly 'neither very good nor very bad' which can be interpreted as negative but also it can signify middle. Which is why we chose it, the blog is in the middle of us and almost a halfway point. Therefore its where our ideas can meet.
