The Messy Side of Mommy Blogger Names

Anyone who thinks naming their kids is hard hasn’t delved into the mad, mad world of mommy blogs.

 

Here’s a secret. Picking a name is easy. Finding one that stands out is hard.


Be wary of the triple B threat—bland, boring, and blending in.


There’s a million mommy bloggers, and they all like to use the word “mom” in their title. If you’re not careful, you’ll get lost in the shuffle.


Tammy at Tammy and Her Crazy House knows firsthand what that’s like. Her most challenging part of coming up with a name?


“[Finding] one that wasn't already taken! All the ones I had originally thought of were already being used by multiple bloggers.”


So Tammy put her own twist on it. Simple but easy to remember and personal to her.


And she didn’t let the name hold her up. That’s another problem mommy bloggers face—getting stuck before they’ve even started.


If you’re spending months trying to innovate the word “mom,” you’re doing it wrong. Ditch the word altogether and go with something new. That’s what Hills and Valleys did.


“I’d wanted to create a blog for years and just never did. One day, as I was pondering what the phrase ‘My hills and valleys’ represents to me, it just clicked that it was time to start my blog and that's what it would be called.”


Hills and Valleys got lost in the endless loop of mommy blogger names but found her way out again. Learn from her and get out before the loop makes you dizzy.


Keep it simple.


Make it memorable.


And be sure you like it.


Because you and your name are in this for the long haul.

5 Mommy Blogger Naming Strategies

We asked 50+ top mommy bloggers what strategies they used for naming their sites, and we found a few trends that we think will make things just a little bit easier for all the would-be mommy bloggers just getting started. Here are the top 5 methods from mommies across the globe.

1) Moms Come Knocking Where Inspiration Strikes

You’re a mom, and you’re not alone.


There are millions of women—and men—who know that changing poopy diapers and four a.m. feedings can turn your life upside down. 

Kayla wanted to help make motherhood easier for other moms, so she called her blog: My Motherhood Made Easy

And there are just as many women who take inspiration from hearing stories of mothers who have overcome these challenges without losing their mind or their hair.


When you’re picking a blog name, think about what inspires you. Then use it to inspire others.


Kayla at My Motherhood Made Easy knew what she wanted to say and came up with a name that could say it.

“Naming my blog came easy… I wanted to help mothers make their motherhood easier, but I also wanted to share my own motherhood experience! Therefore, the name My Motherhood Made Easy was perfect!”


She’s sharing her personal journey while inspiring others along the way.


And who doesn’t wish that motherhood was easy? Kayla’s got a built-in audience hungry to know her tips, tricks, and secrets.


Jesse Murphy at Never Alone Mom had a similar idea.


“My blog was originally all about single motherhood, so I wanted a name that told my readers that they are never alone in their single parent struggles.”


That’s the type of thing more single moms need to hear.


When you personalize your blog and share your story, you open doors to women who are struggling with similar issues.

Debi's blog, Womb 2 Cradle N Beyond, summarizes her journey before and after attaining motherhood.

Debi at Womb 2 Cradle N Beyond shares her story so other women can learn from her, grow, and don’t suffer silently.


“I had suffered infertility for 10 long years, but after a long wait… I was a proud mom of twinnies. I wanted to share my journey and whatever I had learnt from my experience with the world. Several women suffer silently… due to lack of knowledge. ‘Womb2cradlenbeyond’ summarizes my entire journey before and after attaining motherhood.”

If you can help other moms in tough situations, you can find followers who will never leave you.


What do you want to say to moms everywhere?


Find it. Say it. And keep blogging.

2) Raw, Honest, and Relatable

What do parents want in a blog?


Honesty. Edge. That raw quality most of us try to hide because we’re too afraid to show how close to crazy all those sleepless nights have really made us.


Being a mom—or a dad—is challenging, hair-pulling, and painful. It’s also extremely rewarding. Rachel at Tired as a Mother found a way to encapsulate both.

Jessica named her blog Wit and Spit Up with a little help from her baby.

“I am a mom of 4 who was tired of feeling like I was the only mom who wasn’t trying to portray a perfect life with perfect kids… So my blog is about being real. It is honest and open confessions from a mom of 4 who is tired as a mother...”


Rachel’s not alone.


Mommies everywhere are divulging their dirty secret. No, not diapers. Well, not just diapers.

Being a mom is exhausting, and it’s okay to say so. If you can add a touch of humor, all the better.


That’s what Jessica at Wit and Spit Up did.


“I just started writing down words associated with motherhood. Then I circled words that I liked the sound of and would fit in with my purpose of raw honesty and humor… As I was deciding, my baby spit-up all over my keyboard and then Wit and Spit Up was born.”


If you’re worried about being too honest, don’t be.


That’s what people are looking for. Give it to them in abundance, and you’ll have followers for life.

3) Kids Are Complicated… But They Also Make The Best Blog Names

Don’t overcomplicate things.


You’re writing a mommy blog. Use your kids for inspiration. It’s relevant, relatable, and endearing to parents everywhere who are also inspired by their kids.

Akousa's son inspired her blog name: Curious Noah.

Just make sure you add a fun element to it. Don’t call your blog Adam or Sallie and expect to gain followers. Readers need a little more oomph in their blog name.


Akosua at Curious Noah did things the right way, and it’s paid off big for this millennial mom.


“My son is called Noah and I started the blog whilst on maternity leave. He was my inspiration to start the blog and his curious nature fed into the name.”

Not in love with the idea of using your kid’s name as part of your blog name? No worries. Let your kids be the inspiration without getting into specifics.


That’s the path Ashley at Irish Twin’s Momma took.


“I am a mom with two boys 11 months apart. Everyone always told me I had Irish twins. I saw that some mom bloggers only had one post on Irish twins, so I knew it was meant to be.”


As a mom, it’s your right to brag about your kids.


They’ve got a special place in your heart. Give them a special place in your blog name, and you could end up with a winner.

4) Find Your Niche and Stick With It

Variety is key. There are a million and one mom blogs. If you’re a million and two, no one will care.


Unless you nail down what sets you apart and makes your blog special.


Got a hobby? A special interest? A hidden talent?

Samantha Gregory says her blog's name -- Rich Single Momma -- motivates herself and other moms.

Use it to your advantage and gain traction fast.


Sandi Schwartz at Happy Science Mom knew just what she was doing when she came up with her blog name.


“My blog is about raising happy, balanced children based on the key aspects of positive psychology. My name is a play on words because it is about happiness science (positive psychology) and also because the content is science-backed.”

Come up with a name that suits your personality and lifestyle. Don’t be just another generalized mom blog. Be a specialized mom blog.


Samantha Gregory at Rich Single Momma found her niche and rolled with it.


“I believe in speaking what I want into existence, so the name Rich Single Momma motivates me and other single mothers and makes them curious about how they too can become a Rich Single Momma.”


Finding a way to include your accomplishments is a great way inspire to readers and get them to follow you.


The takeaway from all this?


Get specific. Motivate others. Use what inspires you.


That’s how you keep people coming back.

5) Balancing Work and Motherhood

Life is tough. Being a mom is tougher. Being a mom and working outside the home? Toughest of all.


It doesn’t mean it can’t be done, but sometimes baby steps are in order.


Step 1. Find a way to balance your time.


Step 2. Figure out when you’re going to sleep.


Step 3. Don’t go crazy.

Emily says her blog name, Happy Working Mum, encapsulates the idea that mothers can balance work and family life while still having enough time for themselves.

These mommy bloggers took their home and work lives and combined them for the ultimate mommy blogger name.


Karla at Hands On Working Mom nailed her name with something easy to remember and clear for her readers.


“Unlike many mom bloggers, I work outside the home too. I wanted the title to reflect that, and also emphasize that I'm still very much a ‘Hands On’ mom, and my kids are my priority, even though I need to work full-time.”

A lot of working moms struggle balancing their home and work life. Emily Thorpe at The Happy Working Mom knows exactly what that’s like and wanted to help other working moms going through the same thing.


“As a coach, I work with mums who are struggling to juggle their work and family life successfully. So for me the name ‘Happy working Mom’ seemed to encapsulate the idea that you can balance both and have enough time for yourself too.”


Time for yourself is something most moms fantasize about. Emily's blog makes it seem possible and draws in readers who want to know her secret.


If you’re crazy enough—we mean brave enough—to be a working mom, then don’t be afraid to shout it the rooftops. After all, moms need to be able to hear it over their crying babies.

Finally! Time to Name Your Blog

You’ve tackled motherhood. Now it’s time to tackle your mommy blog.


Pick a name that you love almost as much as your kids, and make it a good one. Because it’s your name readers see first. Your story and everything else comes second.


If you get stuck, don’t give up.


Chances are good you’ll be up till dawn anyway, rocking your newborn whose sole purpose in life is to shatter your eardrums. You might as well use the time to figure out a blog name.


If worst comes to worst, pick your three favorite names, put them in a hat, and let your dog sniff out the winner.


Or you could just go back and reread the advice of mommy bloggers who’ve come before you. 


Inspiration. Honesty. Balance. 

Start with those and go from there. The perfect mommy blogger name is out there. If you keep going, eventually you’ll find it.

“It sort of dawned on me when I realized all of the "small stuff" in life is what makes it good. Like family time playing a game or fresh make cookies. Life isn't about huge trips or spending lots of money. Your kids remember all the little things you do to make life special.”

“I came up with the name by using a blog generating app which I had heard about online. I specifically wanted to use the phrase imperfect mom because it aligns with my content which is commiserating with other mothers on the ins and outs of parenthood while also trying to keep your head above water and maintain a sufficient amount of self-care. Motherhood is challenging and there are so many opinions out there on how to do things some right way and I wanted to focus on the fact that nothing is actually perfect and that there is no perfect method to parenting or self-care and that is ok! I also chose the phrase imperfect mom because personally, I have a very colorful past and have made so many mistakes in my own life and I am finally coming to terms with that myself. I am not perfect, I will never be perfect, and I am ok with that. Unfortunately, the domain imperfectmom.com was already being used so I played around with different words until I came up with imperfect mom cafe. I thought that that was cute because I don’t know too many moms who don’t run on coffee! Also, cafe is a metaphor for a place to unwind, relax, be yourself, and feel free to stay awhile!

“My goal was to become a hyperlocal parenting/resource blog and originally wanted the domain BocaMom.com (because I live in Boca Raton). It was unavailable, so I added the descriptor "Modern" since it would describe current and future mothers in my area.”

Michelle Olson-Rogers

“The blog name was an idea of my husband. He told me... "Since you are a Mother and love to join online giveaways, we can add or use the word comper, which mean a competition hunter (comp-er), or giveaway participant. Therefore, we will make use of the word MommyComper."

Keizylyn M.

“When I came up with my blog name, MamaHomeLife, I generally based it around the main categories that I expected to write about on my blog. Parenting, and generally the life of a housewife. I wanted to be able to have a broad audience for my blog, too. Which is why although I expected to be seen as a parenting blogger, I wanted to throw some home and lifestyle blog posts into the mix! This then allowed me to feel like I have more freedom with what I write about, giving me a more relaxed approach to blogging, too!

Katherine

“I started this blog on the basis of encouraging the reader as a Christian woman, mom and spouse. Here, I discuss a variety of life's experiences such as Christianity, parenting, military life and share our family’s travel adventures. My Hills and Valleys represents my travels in life, literally and figuratively. The name represents the variety that is life.”

“Honestly ,I came up with the name as a joke. It started as a hashtag that morphed into short snippets of thoughts followed by the hashtag and then a blog. I launched the blog with that particular name because that was an issue I was having with another mom with small children. Since I wrote about family a lot I thought it was a perfect fit.”

“I just started writing down words associated with motherhood. Then I circled words that I liked the sound of and would fit in with my purpose of: raw honesty and humor. Once I narrowed it down farther I started writing down alliteration, puns, rhyming words. As I was deciding my baby spit-up all over my keyboard and then Wit and Spit Up was born.”

“My son is called Noah and I started the blog whilst on maternity leave. He was my inspiration to start the blog and his curious nature fed into the name.”

“My audience is moms, specifically working moms looking to work from home and stay at home moms looking to earn an income. These moms are using freelancing to create more time and financial freedoms in their lives, thus, Free Mama.”

Lauren Golden

“I wanted the blog name to reflect the major themes of the blog in a catchy way: mindfulness and intentional living, my experience as a doctor mom, and parenting. So, after brainstorming a variety of names the result was Mindful MD Mom!

“It sort of covers who I am, and who many women are. We wear so many hats on any given day. Or we wear an apron, sometimes sexy heels, and some days we need our yoga pants. ;)”

“I had suffered infertility for 10 long years but after a long wait finally, motherhood dawned and I was a proud mom of twinnies. I wanted to share my journey and whatever I had learnt from my experience with the world. Several women suffer silently and they suffer due to lack of knowledge. That's how my third baby was named "womb2cradlenbeyond" that summarises my entire journey. My journey before and after attaining motherhood.”

Debidutta Mohanty

“As a coach I work with mums who are struggling to juggle their work and family life successfully. So for me the name Happy working mum seemed to encapsulate the idea that you could balance both and have enough time on yourself too, to feel happy.”

Ibinye Osibodu-Onyali

“I wanted to keep the word "Mom" in my blog name as it relates to my work. I was trying to figure out what can be a unique name with the word "Mom". Then, I added "step" as mothers are very much responsible for taking care of their child on every step until they are grown. So that's how I decided on this name. Hope it helps :)”

Rakshita Sharma

“My kids chose the name and I loved it; mainly because I tell them that they are going to drive me crazy. Also being a mom with ADHD raising kids with Additional needs such as autism, ODD, OCD, Auditory processing, anxiety etc. Besides that, we have four cats and two pugs so life here gets a little crazy 😉

"I wanted to write about a variety of things. My kids were pretty little at the time, so of course being a Mom is the main focus of my life. Unlike many Mom bloggers, I work outside the home too. I wanted the title to reflect that, and also emphasize that I'm still very much a "Hands on" Mom, and my kids are my priority, even though I need to work full-time"

"I was laid off when my maternity leave was over because I prioritized my breastfeeding journey and my time with my baby. As I had done much of my work remotely for the past 7 years, I set out on a mission to find ways to make money and sustain my Stay at Home Mom life and enjoy all the time with my baby. I created my blog to talk about that experience, anything baby/mom related and about working from home.
I came up with the name Mamapreneur to represent a mom trying to find ways to financially contribute to my household and sustain the privilege of being with my baby all day and enjoy all of these special moments."

“I branded my blog Fab Working Mom Life because that was the season of my life that inspired me to have a motherhood blog. I wanted to help other working moms returning to work after this life-changing experience of motherhood. I want this to be a happy and positive community so I included "Fab" for the fabulous life we can have as working moms.”

“I wanted to give my readers a sense of place (I'm Midwestern) at the same time anticipated the style and genre (mom blog)”

“I am a mom of 4 who was tired of feeling like I was the only mom who wasn’t trying to portray a perfect life with perfect kids. Parenting is not for the weak and oftentimes complete chaos. We make mistakes, our kids make mistakes...and that’s ok! The sad thing I noticed though was that no one was talking about it. So I decided it was time. We learn from our mistakes and most of the time there is a hilarious story somewhere in the middle of it all. So my blog is about being real. It is honest and open confessions from a mom of 4 who is tired as a mother…”


“I obviously wanted to convey that the blog was about nutrition and aimed at moms--but I used the word "real" because I wanted readers to know that I’m grounded in reality. I don't gloss over the hard stuff or pretend that it’s all simple and fun. I’m a real mom living a real life with a real budget.”

“I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit, even as a child, from lemonade stands to door-to-door cookie selling. I also knew I wanted to be a stay-at-home mother. In order to join the two together I conceived the idea of a blog. I enjoyed writing and photography was a hobby of mine. Coming up with a name for the blog was easier than I thought. I began by reflecting on the purpose of my blog and what I wanted to bring to the table. Parenting is overwhelming and it’s hard to know where to begin, with so many choices out there. I decided to name my site “Momma Review” to give parents a place to come read authentic reviews on products I have tested and tried! That’s how my brand name came to fruition.”

Brandiann

“I've just become a mom and I want to start a blog that would let me share my stories as a mom. I chose Momsiefied because it's like something that says how I've transformed from a single woman to a mom.”

Caroline

“A happy mom provides the happy environment for kids which is essential for children's growth and development. When a mom is happy, kids are happy themselves. And a mother's happiness is around wellness of herself and her family. So I chose this name "Being Happy Mom", in which we take care of all the aspects which keeps a mother and her family happy.

Neha Goyal

Tons of research, playing around with words, thinking about the purpose of my site and what it meant to me and my readers, looking at what was available, easy to spell, etc.”

Sophie Agbonkhese

“My blog name started as a goal for myself. I wasn't finding parenting all that fun during the time, so the blog name, Be A Fun Mum, became a type of quest to find the enjoyment in parenting in my own way.”

“I wanted a name that showed it's a blog geared towards moms written by a mom. Since I have different topics (it's more of a lifestyle blog) I didn't want to put any words in the name that would limit what I write about or confuse readers. It's also a play on my favorite saying "that's what she said" which, sadly, was already taken. I compromised and combined the two into "that's what mom said."

Ashley Troncoso

“Life is to be experienced, not fought against, run from, or engaged halfheartedly. I came up with this blog name because my blog was created with the desire to record my life as I experienced it. Taking charge of my life so that I could alter the quality of my experiences in the future, after having lived the experience. Here I record all the stuff that is tugging on the sleeves of my heart: my stories, memories, visions and songs, my truth, my growth, my version of things.”

“As a mom, mood swings are frequent. Good, aggressive, loveable... So, I decide to put my blog name as MoodyDose”

Emma Gomez

My blog was originally all about single motherhood so I wanted a name that told my readers that they are never alone in their single parent struggles. I have recently rebranded to be more of a basic lifestyle blog, so I changed the name of my blog from On Your Own, But Never Alone to simply Never Alone Mom to reflect the rebrand.”

Jesse Murphy

“Parenthood is hard. It can often feel like survival each day. This name just seems to describe my blog.”

“Thinking about my own journey through motherhood. It was my faith in Jesus that has transformed me as a woman and as a mother. When we are in Christ Jesus we are Made New. So I don't want to ever forget who made me the mother I am today. It was a dark path but in my faith, I was able to get off that rode and start a new path.”

Chyna Nicole

“I originally had another name (Single Mom Chic) but it no longer fit my demographic or current lifestyle”

Tonya Parker

“It defines who I am. I played with variations of mum, single, solo, older, midlife, etc... Until one combo sounded good.”

Rachel Selby

“WoMo is the modern term for the Working Mother.”

Elizabeth

“When I first started my blog I wasn't a parent yet. I was in the process of becoming a foster parent and wanted to share my journey. I chose this name because health, fitness and yoga pants were and still are my passion. I wanted to share about being healthy, becoming a foster mom and all while living in my favorite yoga pants. I wanted to create a space for moms who want to get healthy but also love to go to fun places and eat good food and not feel alone.”

“When I first started blogging, I picked a really irreverent name: Ain't No Mom Jeans. It was funny, and I didn't put a lot of thought into the name. At the time I wasn't blogging very seriously - I didn't yet think of blogging as a "real job". In hindsight, that was really short-sighted. As my blog grew and eventually became a business, the name no longer fit. It was a cultural reference to an old SNL skit that now felt outdated. Mom jeans (and moms) were...cool, and besides, being a mom was something I wanted to embrace, not ridicule. So I picked a name that still clearly spoke to the niche I was in, yet allowed myself flexibility of content. I also wanted something simple and straight-forward. I wanted a simple name that communicated our brand, yet would feel fresh and relevant 10 years later. So I changed the name to The Mom Edit.”

Shana Draugelis

“I did a focus group with a few of the working moms who I had interviewed for my books. They understood what I was trying to create and I asked them to help with naming the book. The concept of empowering moms kept coming up during the discussion. So, the idea of mompowerment was what I created to show the concept of empowering moms who wanted to create greater work-life balance.”

Suzanne Brown

“With Love, Becca is a love letter to working moms who are managing family, managing careers, and managing to laugh through it all. When I started writing the blog, and still to this day, I think about it as writing a letter to a good friend that is filled with humor and love.”

“I wanted to discuss and share my experiences in motherhood and mental health in my own words in hopes to normalize some of those experiences that my audience may be experiencing. On my blog, I am simply Just Jasmyn and I want to make my audience comfortable in being just themselves too.”

Jasmyn Wilkins

“I wanted a phrase to describe me (resourceful), but that name was taken, so after brainstorming synonyms, I came up with Outside the Box Mom.”

“Naming my blog came easy to me because I wanted to help mothers make their motherhood easier but I also wanted to share my own motherhood experience! Therefore, the name My Motherhood Made Easy was perfect!

“As a newly divorced single mom I searched online for single mom websites. I saw a lot of forums but not many blogs. The blog I read was great by a single mom talking about her career development and raising her daughter. She was inspirational. On the forums I read a lot of griping, complaining, and struggling with money. I was doing well in my career (though I was unemployed at the time) and I also had a variety of small businesses since age 10. I had it in my mind that single moms could leverage their everyday skills into a side hustle like babysitting, baking, or focus groups to make extra money to stretch their budgets. I decided to start a blog and call it Rich Single Momma. It was an aspiration for me and a mindset that single moms could adopt. I believe in speaking what I want into existence so the name Rich Single Momma motivates me and other single mothers and makes them curious about how they too can become a Rich Single Momma.”

“When I was pregnant, I kept trying to find geeky mom stuff and just kept running into dad stuff. So I wanted to create a site for geeky moms. I made it plural because I wanted to involve other geeky moms too. GeekyMoms was already taken, so I played with the combo until I came up with something available and GeekMamas.com was born! Over time it became more of a personal blog, but I include Geek of the Week features and guest bloggers to get the other geek mamas involved.”

Candy Keane

“I'd called the blog something different and didn't know that the name was infringing on someone's trademark. So, I brainstormed with friends and realized that if I wanted to reach mom entrepreneurs -- women who "found" companies -- that calling it The Founding Moms would also work as a play on "The Founding Fathers" and so I trademarked it.”

Jill Salzman

“My blog is about raising happy, balanced children based on the key aspects of positive psychology. My name is a play on words because it is about happiness science (positive psychology) and also because the content is science-backed.”

Sandi Schwartz

“I am a mom with two boys 11 months apart. Everyone always told me I had Irish twins. I saw that some mom bloggers only had one post on Irish twins so I knew it was meant to be.”
