Poll question: I'm changing my website. Which sounds better as a name?
I'm not really sold on any of these. None has quite "clicked" yet with me. It's gonna be a website for world history resources that my students (or students not my own) can use.

If you have other suggestions, I'll take 'em. But my thunks so far are...

4. Pfff. It's squatted on. With .org, .net, .us, and .mobi all still available....
Or I could always plop down the $25 required to buy the damn thing.

Anyway, of the five I've thought of so far, History Monster is by far my least favorite. It's too obvious, I think. But then, my fave, Cliovore, is too obscure.

3. Cliovore sounds titillating. LOL But then, I always thought that clavicle was

5. "Slowly, I nibbled on her cliovore. Soon she become circumlocutious..."

8. HistoryMystery. HistoSource. TimeStream. ThePastAlive. I do this stuff (branding) for
a living, but I'm really tired right now, so these are the best I can come up with.
