How’s ’bout New England Smallbore
I think the present name is OK. However, changing to smallborematch better reflects the inclusive nature of website and I will vote that way.
This is said in recognition of the fact two of the suggestions are from my fertile mind and I am not voting for them.
George, I considered your suggestion but felt that the site extends beyond New England not be the best choice…
Dan, I understand but it originates in New England. Oh well, how about
“Friends of Hap Society”? Or…Northeast Smallbore?
There is something to be said for that!
HI Dan,
Since you are the owner of the blog, you should use a name that “reaches the objectives” of your blog. This is more important for People that don’t yet know about the blog, but might look on it, if the name “matches their interests”.
It looks to me, like your blog covers small bore competition and some other information about small bore shooters in general. As you also mentioned, your blog extends beyond the Northeast, although the focus is in the Northeast. It covers much more than just matches and match results.
My conclusion is that there are several names that meet the criteria above, I picked one of these 2-3, but anyone of them should work.
