When I was launching my blog last December I had a hard time coming up with a URL for it. I eventually came to gbrenna.com. My First name is Graham and my last name is Brenna (gbrenna). I wanted something a little more catchy but this is what I've gone by online since there were no interwebs... so I figured, why fight it. Everything I do online is by the name gbrenna right now. I figure people won't come to my blog because of the catchy name but because someone told them I write good stuff... haha. That's yet to be seen. :) So true man!

But before the brand/name is established, it is neutral or negative (no one is likely to try Pig Snout anything).

Does a good name help to tell your story to those who have not heard it or experienced what you are offering?

I've been toying with the notion of honor to parents and family, and the old-fashioned notion that one's name DOES matter -- in a much deeper way that we can imagine. Who one is, the reputation one develops, one's reliability and honesty. Best, Rob Right — you do bring it out nicely at the end.

We changed their names for several reasons, 1) culturally more acceptable, 2) a new name gave them a new identity and a from the issues of their past. While at ages 5 and 4 they would not have understood these reasons, both symbolically and practically they have made a difference to us as their parents. I am wondering if a church could change their name for the same reasons. What do you think? Several years ago we adopted two children from another country and changed their names.

But just curious... if NewSpring were NewSpring Lutheran, or NewSpring Christian, or NewSpring Baptist, or NewSpring Methodist, or whatever, would the smell of the rose to the un-churched change? How would it affect connectivity and environment, if at all? Thanks for all you do. In Christ, Dan Good post Tony.
