What’s In A Name?
Posted on September 28th, 2006 in Housekeeping
Well kiddos, wheels are turning behind the scenes at Stiletto Diaries.
I may be getting my own hosting for the humble blog, since Blogger has irritating limitations, and as things evolve and the blog becomes increasingly part of my real life, I want to make it more professional as it were.
So, I am surfing through hosting options. So far I am seriously looking at BlueHost.com and I would LOVE to hear from anyone out there who might use them for hosting. Also, anyone who uses WordPress in combination with independent hosting, let me know how you like it.
I have also discovered that someone pathetic owns stilettodiaries.com!!! Argh the fury!
Actually I am looking at this as perhaps an opportunity to reinvent this blog and myself. I want to expand this blog, make it better.
I was just saying to LD that I didn’t put a lot of thought into having SG as an alias on here, and now I want something different. I might be doing at least one speaking engagement on poly here in Calgary, and I don’t want to use my real name, nor do I want to go by ‘SG’.
So far the name I am considering the most seriously is: Shasta
I like this name. I want a name that is either charming or sensual, or both. I think Shasta is quite charming.
I am looking at Goddess Names as well for ideas.
Stiletto Diaries as a blog name might be getting a makeover as well. I don’t know, this blog started off very focused on sex, and although it is still quite sexual, it is also a lot of other things. I don’t know that ‘SD’ still suits my purpose.
So, if anyone has blog names or personal names that you think might be awesome, I would love to hear them! I think that our collective creativity would be more productive than me coming up with something on my own.
Happy Hump Day!

Ha. I knew someone named Shasta. Mostly it just irritated her because everyone wanted to know if she was named after the mountain. Or the soda pop. I suppose you might not have that problem.

Hello SG,
I like the name shasta…it’s very sexy and charming. *big smiles*
I’m glad we got to talk earlier. I love the idea for a new name and a new look.
I’ll try to think of some others ones. Hope you have had a good hump day.
BIG HUGS

Hi – just a quick mention from an occasional lurker. Shasta is the name of the orphan hero of The third Narnia book (A Horse And His Boy) so there may possibly be copyright issues with using it as an identity. Of course, the Lewis estate may be less enthusiastic than the Tolkien estate but the goddess option is cool and might also be less fraught in the long run.
Encylopaedia Myhtica (www.pantheon.org) is worth a look if you haven’t already found it.
