naming convention

I’ve been searching for a name for this weblog – loudgirl is only temporary until I find something I really like.

I’m thinking of using “f.” Just the letter F. I kind of love that. I was also considering mF but I think I like F better.

• I found out our friend’s son’s new catering business is called “M.” So single letter names were on my mind.
• Then I was reading Kafka last night (therapeutically) and remembered he named a character K.
• Then I was writing about Fortissimo (loud) yesterday and remembered the musical symbol was F.
• It’s the first letter of my maiden name.
• And I can’t help it, I like the connotation of “F-word.”
• And it’s an interesting letter typographically. The shape of the musical symbol. The special connections of ligatures.
• And I like to write the F in the middle of Stamford with a big swooping curve like a river through the town.
• And it’s the key where the left index finger rests on the keyboard.
• And it’s a very small name to link, like a secret key.

Can’t think of any drawbacks, except the technical chore of changing the name.

I’ve got to go do some effing vacuuming.
