WITH ALL THE CREATIVE TALENT OF A COMBINED 156,415 RAINERS, my friend Patrick Randles is sure to get some great ideas to NAME THAT BLOG!

Dazed & ConfusedSince Mike Jones came to work at Sunstreet Mortgage recently, I have had some help with the technical side of my blogging. If you go back and look at my posts, you can see that from an aesthetic perspective, they are slowly getting better. I am not a writer and not much of a photographer, but if I can add some good info and a few pics, someone might eventually read my blog.

I added background to my blog (a golf course) and a header (another golf picture) and now it is time to name my blog. If you haven't figured it by now, I am a huge golf enthusiast and I vow to play the best 50 golf courses in the US.

Can anyone help me with Pine Valley?

 

 I asked my wife for some ideas as she has a much better sense of humor than I do and here is some of what we came up with:

 

  • Par Mortgage Blog (something a golfer and a mortgage person can relate to)
  • I'm Your Lender (a little too much for me)
  • Your Guy Pat! (sounds like an SNL skit)
  • Let's Talk Mortgage (pretty generic)
  • Mortgages in Tucson (that is safe)
  • The End is Near Mortgage (Not my idea...but it could run off any potential clients)
  • So You Need a Lender... ( No, I don't sell cars anymore)

As you can see, I need help on this. I am open to input. If you have an idea, feel free to comment.

Can You help?

Thanks!

Mike.  There's a problem with the post.  I believe that banner is too wide.

I like Judi's suggestion.  I am an avid golfer also.

How about something like "Unhandicap Your Mortgage"...

I am not very creative tonight.  All I can come up with is Pat's Tucson Mortgage Blog.  I'll be back if I dream of something tonight. :o)

Hi!
I would suggest something with "swing" in it, but someone might get the wrong idea! ;o)

Mike.  Whatever you did fixed it.  I wasn't sure it was the banner.  However, when I have this problem, I usually have an image loaded that is too large.  All fixed.

I'm thinking, "Par for the Course, Mortgage Blog".

Or maybe, "Randles Handles Mortgages".

I know how hard it is to name websites, domains, blogs, etc.  You always want it to be memorable, relevant (in some way), unique, interesting, easy to spell, and maybe think about how you might use it as a domain name is you ever want to make it an outside blog.

Good luck,

Mike

Hmmm, I'm not a golfer so can't help but I'll be waiting to hear what you decided on.

I am not a golfer and I can't even hit a stupid ball off the tee so I don't even know golf terms.

Nice of you to reblog so your friend can get more exposure and hopefully a new name.  I will visit his blog and see if I can think of anything.

Mike,

Right now I would have to say that "Pat Randles handles...your Tucson Mortgage" is leading in the polls. Thanks for the name, Margaret.
