[Poll] What's in a name? Part 2 - Choosing a Website Number

It's Monday and I nearly forgot to post a new blog. Sorry faithful reader(s). This is another boring one but it has been in the queue for awhile. Back in March I posted the first in a series of name related blog posts. This is the second.

How many possible website name possibilities can there be? Many people go with the <insert groom name>and<insert bride name>.com naming convention while others might reverse that and go with <insert bride name>and<insert groom name>.com. Of course, Eileen - God bless her humble and selfless soul - wanted her name first.

That is perfectly fine by me. But what name should we go with? If we went with her nickname, Ei (pronounced like eye), then putting her name after mine just sounds more natural - as in JengAndEi.com.

"No! The bride's name must go first! ROAR!" said an unnamed source whose name rhymes with Ilene and Aileen.

And so EiAndJeng.com was born. To avoid confusion we I registered both.

But not everyone knows her by Ei nor me as Jeng. And so, to avoid confusion, I registered EileenAndJeng.com and EileenAndJeremy.com. Notice how it doesn't sound as weird with her name in front? That's why I didn't register them the other way around. Way to save money, Jeng! (Although in retrospect, why didn't I register JeremyAndEi.com?)

Having saved money by not registering JeremyAndEileen.com and JengAndEileen.com, I decided to also register Buenviaje-Reyes.com. Then, since we were on this vanity-website-domains kick, I decided to register EileenBuenviaje.com, JeremyReyes.com and EileenReyes.com (I thought that last one was pretty funny). These ones don't point to our wedding website yet.

But the best URL so far is the one Eileen begged me to register. When I was doing this she just finished up her Fabio Twilight books. Now her preferred domain for our wedding blog is JengIsMyEdward.com. Isn't she sweet? So next time someone asks you where to find our website, you know what to say.
