Memorable And Interesting Title Needed

Posted by Anonymous on 4/29/2011 at 4:06 PM ET 250 Points
I am going to start a blog about everyday manners with true life stories about why they are still important. I think it will become an interesting read for the followers because the illustrative stories about the topics will be true (my own experiences with stern but kind parents). It will be a little personal and I will write in a talkative and friendly way, not an authoritative way.
I need help please with a title. So far the things I think of sound just too dry (Why manners still count, or Good Manners Matter). I think I need something a little more whimsical and far more interesting. Can anyone help me please?

    Some good suggestions above.

    What's the objective of the blog? Is it just for your own enjoyment, or do you expect to turn this into a business of some kind? Who is your target audience?

    Knowing that might impact the name you select.

    Excellent suggestions so far and thank you. My target audience are people just like myself who read for pleasure and for education; who want to learn and develop themselves yet get a chuckle or guffaw when reading. The entertainment value is as important as the subject. If this is a hit, I see turning this into profit; a book perhaps.
    I have seen sites named (for example): Etiquette Hell (unfortunately already taken) which appeals to me because of the humorous title- it's along those lines I think I want. I have considered Manners Whisperer but too self righteous. Class 1/2 Full is almost appealing but again, too mocking. Mind Over Manners, but that's too bland. See what I mean?

    I like the idea of including the word "stories" in your name, so maybe ...

    (the) true stories of etiquette faux pas

    or you could substitute the words -

    Blunders
    Bloopers
    Gaffes
    Transgressions

    You all gave me great ideas. Jay started me thinking about a play on my name so I named the blog Payneful manners. Thank you Jay for the help and thank you everyone for helping me. I hope you will take a peek at my blog which I hope to have up within a couple of weeks!
    Suze, let me know when I can make a contribution to your site. I have a perfect timely topic to write about.
