What do you call your blog? There are actually whole websites devoted to this one particular dilemma! At the moment, I quite like the name: 'Polyglot' -[n. or adj. POLY-glot] 'Someone who is able to speak, write, or read two or more languages.' Obviously, I'm not quite there yet, which is why I've changed the noun/adjective into a present continuous verb... (Sorry, grammar is fast becoming a staple diet in my daily life. But don't worry, cos I belong to the facebook group 'Good grammar is Hot'. So I'm still cool...)
Not only does polyglot mean a many-tongued (literally) person, but also means 'a mixture or confusion of languages'. I don't intend for my blog to be confusing, but I like the idea of it containing a 'mixture of languages' - i.e. speaking on many levels about many different things from a fusion of Anglo-Polish as well as idiosyncratic perspectives... There, that's my liberal interpretation of the word. O, and did I forget to mention the double entendre here? 'Pol-yglotting' - learning Pol-ish - get it? Very clever, mais non? ;)
Apparently, though, there's also a list of the top 10 words used for a blog name, which therefore are hit the most through searches.. (So I've heard....) Originally, 'blog', 'life', 'journal' , 'world', 'thoughts', 'daily' are 6 of them... So, I may well change my blog name in the future purely in the name of unabashed self-promotion :)
