Let me tell you about the 2.5 hours I wasted trying to name my blog.
I sat down with a cup of coffee and what I thought was a simple task. ‘I’ll just pick a blog name.’ Famous last words. I typed ideas into Namecheap, got told they were all taken, tried every variation imaginable, went down a generator rabbit hole, and ended up with a list of 8 terrible options including one that sounded like a bicycle company.
You do not need to go through that. I already did it for you.
Here’s what I tested, what actually worked, and the framework I finally used to land on faithfluencerjourney.com — a name I actually love.
The 3 Blog Name Generators I Tested (And My Honest Verdict)
Namelix is probably the most popular AI name generator out there. You type in a few keywords related to your brand, and it spits out name ideas with different styles (minimalist, classic, fun, etc.). For faith-based blogs, I typed in ‘faith, creator, digital’ and got some genuinely interesting combinations.
Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Worth trying first. The suggestions aren’t always usable but they spark ideas.
You type one word and it pairs it with thousands of other words to find available .com domains. Fast and practical. I typed ‘faith’ and it gave me hundreds of combinations.
Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Best for quickly checking availability and getting combinations you wouldn’t have thought of.
Technically for ecommerce but works fine for blogs. Types your keyword and gets a list. Similar to others but the UI is clean and it checks availability.
Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐ — Solid backup option.
But Here's the Thing About Generators...
None of them gave me the name I used.
Faithfluencerjourney.com came from a piece of paper and a prayer. I wrote down what I was actually doing — helping faith creators build platforms — and what my blog was actually about — the journey of learning this stuff in real time. Then I just… combined the concepts.
The best blog names almost always come from this simple exercise:
- Write 10 words that describe what you do
- Write 10 words that describe who you help or what they’re becoming
- Write 5 words that describe the feeling or transformation you offer
- Start combining them. Freely. Weirdly. Don’t censor yourself.
- Check availability on Namecheap for anything that makes you feel something

The 4 Rules Your Blog Name Must Follow
- Say it out loud — can someone spell it after hearing it once? If not, it’s out.
- Check .com availability — always. Even if you love a name, if the .com is taken, keep looking.
- Google it — make sure there’s nothing sketchy already using your name.
- Check Instagram and Pinterest handles — you want consistency across platforms.
One more thing: don’t let naming your blog become the reason you never start it. I’ve seen people spend weeks — literally weeks — on this. Pick something you like that checks the boxes above. You can always rebrand later. Plenty of successful bloggers have. The blog that launches imperfectly beats the perfect blog that never launches.
