How Do You Name a Blog?

I need a blog title.  I decided that I would create a blog dedicated to my current battle with lymphoma.  First question is, what should I name my blog?  It should be a fairly easy name, both in the words and the spelling so people can find it.  And it should be in some way clever, since that’s my nature.

Some ideas: 

Lymphomation - Sounds too much like a dull, boring explanation of a disease.

Lymphunny - While I want to take an upbeat, and at times humorous approach to this blog,     “funny” in a cancer blog title seems somehow inappropriate.

Lymphomania -  Not sure what connotation this title provides other than the expectation that I would rip a t-shirt off at the beginning of each chemo treatment ala “Hulkamania.”

Glimpse-of-Lymph  - Huh?  Plus “glimpse” and “lymph” don’t actually rhyme.  It’s probably close enough for a rapper to force as a rhyme, but I’m not a rapper.

Lymphatic - I’d probably get sued for copyright infringement.  There’s got to be a drug on the market with this name.  I can see the TV ad now;  “Got Cancer?  Maybe you’re ready for…Lymphatic.”

Lymphomaniac -  Uh, this might raise more questions than answers.

TegTrek  -  OK, I like this one.  It’s probably available as a title , and as far as illnesses go, I am   truly “boldly going”  where I’ve never gone before. Plus, unlike lymphoma, it's spelled just like it sounds.

So TegTrek, it is.  If you’ve taken the time to read this far, I hope you’ll join me for future posts. 

I’m expecting that this Trek will have a happy ending.
