In my search to find a blog name that would describe me in three words or less, I seemed only to find discouragement. I started with things that interest me; owls, tigers, France, the color black, and tried combining them.
My First was Le Chat Noir which means ‘The Black Cat’. It, of course, turned out to be a cabaret theatre in New Orleans as well as a restaurant in D.C. That was out.
Next was Abeille Noir, or ‘The Black Bee’. You can imagine my shock when I discovered this is a position in the Kama Sutra. I obviously opted not to use this one- don’t want to be advertising the wrong content! This is a perfect example of the importance of research.
Third on the list was Le Poisson Rouge, meaning ‘The Red Fish’. I don’t have an especially strong love of fish or the color red, but I love how the words sound when pronounced. However, this title is already owned by a venue in New York, they have done an excellent job with their logo, I might add.
After all that discouragement, I decided to consider what my blog will really be about… a journey of the unknown, a compilation of adventures in creativity, tales of wanderlust. And so Forever Bougeotte was born. Bougeotte meaning; wanderlust, itchy feet, a desire to see the world- in French of course (I had to get a bit of my European soul in there somewhere!)
