  Selecting a name for your url is both personal and technical.
  Personal, because one wants a meaningful and likeable name.
  Technical, because while there is no list.

  here are the stats with how many possibilities there are:
  10 characters in a name – 36 possible characters you would have a list with
  3,656,000,000,000,000 names in it – minus the names already in use – still leaves a real big number

  Technical because not everyone comes up with the idea of adding a number to a name which is already taken (hey! I didn’t want “1tess” when I started) or substituting numbers for various letters or using other such code-like tricks.
  Technical because a blogger, a novice, may not have considered the possibility of domain mapping to get a url he or she will like to use.

  And personal here, in this case, this thread, because communicating via text on a little screen lacks detail about intent, mood, and reactions. This question was not a “chat” session, nor a waste of anyone’s time.

  I wish the original poster the best with future blogging, whatever name is going to be the chosen one.

  It has, however coming to the point where one or the other needs the last word. So it will be me: closing topic.
