It’s been awhile since I sat around and made lists of words I liked, mixing and matching them together. I tried to coming up with a blog name like I used to write poetry: instinctively hunting out the words that called out to me. But there are other considerations… it wasn’t just about something that appealed to me. I felt nervous about the finality of selecting a blog name. I wondered if it would make sense to other people. I wondered if it was too long. Or too weird. I wondered if it would say about myself what I wanted it to say. I wondered if it would express what this blog is about.
For instance, I’m a redhead, and quite proud of it (at least now I am) and I thought of various names with the word redhead included. But then I started thinking a blog with redhead in the name might attract unwanted attention.
So I went through my list of variations, dipping into the thesaurus now and then. I scratched things off and my list got smaller and smaller. I ended up with “bohemian season”. Why? It spoke to me. It felt slightly poetic. And I felt it expressed what this blog is about in this time of my life - this is my bohemian season.
