CafePress shop name, again

[nancylebov]

I like Memerator, but my inner proof-reader reflexively wonders if it wants to be "memorator", which ruins the joke.

It inspired "Meme Pool", which I like a lot, but someone on cafe press is already using that. "The Meme Pool" probably isn't different enough for people to reliably end up at my shop. "The Shallow End of the Meme Pool" is a self-insult. Maybe "The Deep End of the Meme Pool"? "The Other Side of the Meme Pool"? "The Other Side of the Moebius Strip"? "Inside the Klein Bottle"? "Outside the Klein Bottle?"

The problem with "meme" is that it ends with a vowel, which makes words like Memeiverse not read well.

"Geekiverse" is tempting. There is, or possibly used to be, a social website with that name, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal and it doesn't have a cafepress shop.

"Mind Munchies" is likewise tempting. There's a book by that title, but again, that's remote enough from a cafepress shop that I don't think it's a problem.

Or I could go with "Input Junkie". No one else is using it, and it's at least a little associated with me.

Random question: How much do people notice lj zine titles?

Checking on Moebius Strip turned up Naked Geometry, a shop with some very cool designs.

Memeverse. Geekverse. They don't need the "i" added.

To me, those both suggest light poetry rather than the vast reaches of space.

Each to her own 'verse. Poetry is its own universe. I simply don't see a need to add an extraneous letter to the words. The 'uni' in universe is from uno, one, which already had a vowel at the end. To me, the difference between geekverse and geekiverse is the difference between a place for geeks and a place for geekyness.

I concur with your analysis, twistedchick.

I like "Input Junkie." I wouldn't go with any of the taken-but-obscure names, though; you never know when one of them might suddenly become rich and famous and/or go crazy, and turn out to have both lawyer-grade money and an attack-dog-in-the-manger mentality.

I like "Input Junkie," both as a name and as a concept.

I like "Input Junkie" as well. And I vaguely notice LJ titles, but I might be unusual in that regard.
