What's in a (blog) name?

As an appropriate first post, I thought I'd begin here:

In coming up with a name for this Blog I - like all beginning bloggers - thought that it should be something witty, and yes, in some sense, punny. Though the pressure of a name led to a lapse in brain activity and all I could come up with was "The Pitt Pot." This had something to do with my last name being Olives...insert courtesy laugh here. So I turned to what I thought might be a reasonably better source of potential names...my boyfriend. Our text conversation went as follows:

Me: I'm starting a blog. Suggestions? I thought of "Pitt Pot." Cause it sounds funny to say.

BF: How about "Olives the Kings Horses"

Me: (silence)

BF: Um HELLO! That's gold.

Me: Who ARE you?

BF: I think that's pretty fucking clever. "Olive's Loaf"?

Me: Warmer...

BF: I think "Olive the King's Horses" is fucking brilliant.

ME: You can do better. Toooo punny for me. Still prefer "Pitt Pot." C'mon. Impress me!

BF: Ok Tiff.

SIDEBAR - Tiffany is my sister and I love her very much but wit is not part of her overall inventory.

ME: WTF? Oh hell no.

BF: "Littlefield's, Big World." All I gotta say.

SIDEBAR - Tiffany recently set up a blog for her family and was asking me for names. I thought that "Littlefield's, Big World" was hilarious as it was a reference to both that reality show about the little people (which I haven't seen but LOVE the idea of) and her married last name, Littlefield.

ME: Pffft. How about "The Rhubarbed Wire." Does that sound like a fat girl's blog?

BF: Why don't you just ask Ryan instead of poorly trying to copy him?

SIDEBAR - Ok. So, my best friend Ryan IS the funniest and wittiest person I know and for some reason, my boyfriend likes to irk me by always suggesting that I'm trying to immitate him.

ME: Hater. And no. And hater.

BF: You ask my opinion.

ME: "Olive the King's Horses" reminds me of a Ren Faire.

BF: How about "Olive the Little Things"? Pun intentional.

ME: That's better...

BF: You're tacky.

Scene.

So that wasn't very helpful. Then I played with some other ideas, most of which were taken. I tried "Pavlov's Squirrel," which I thought was cute, but then realized that It was too cute so I changed that. In doing all of this I realized, I hate puns. As much as I try to use them (and for certain I'll slip up often) I always reflect with the same puzzlement; "why?"

i.e. "Pun Assassin."

So be it.
