A personal blog to share random thoughts about chess, religion, modern church trends, married life etc. Importantly, and for the record, a word about the Zodiac year I've been allotted (see the 'complete profile'). I was sure it was the Great Panther, or Lion, or something like that, not Rabbit. Rabbit! Bloomin flippin ek', what is that mena mean? Surely a miscalculation.
Given my last post, I was thinking that it's perhaps time to change my blog name. But to what?

I am New Testament Tutor for St Mellitus College and St Paul's Theological Centre, London. In my postgraduate research (under the supervision of Max Turner) I’m working on a thesis that concerns the christological significance of the language Paul used to describe the relationship between risen Lord and believer. My blog, Chrisendom, is primarily occupied with biblical and theological themes – especially those Apostle Paul shaped, but I try as best as I can to squeeze in a decent amount of inappropriate baloney on the way. For more about me, click here for my interview with biblioblogs' Jim West.

Visit Bloggbastard and you will be happy.
I have the perfect name for your blog Chris
Tübinger.
Simple- direct- would fit nicely on a mug...
;-)
I must confess Chris, I always found "Brainpoo" a bit vulgar. How about:
Not the Spanish Inquisition
Jesus-Devotion
Christophany
Adiaphora
Evangelische-R-us
Fundies anonymous
Christos Kyrios
euangelia
Thank heavens! Yes, please please please change the name -- anything else at all would be better. ;-)
hey, I like Brainpoo. Okay, does that say something bad about me?
or Bl-adder ... actually Jim's Tubinger (with the dots) is pretty hot.
Claire - I like Brainpoo too and I know that says something about me and I don't give a poo.
Hey Chris,
off the subject here, but I could not get registered at http://www.freechess.org/ becasue the only e-mail accounts I have (two of which I pay with the web service) were not allowed through the FreeChess registration process.
Any suggestions?
how about 'cardinal spin'?
Jim's "Tübinger" sounds very cool. Unfortuntely, though, some aggregators, etc, can't read the umlaut, so it might be better to avoid using an umlaut in your title.
Classical and ecclesiastical Latin are always popular for titles. You could call it "Tabula Rasa", or "Habemus Papam", or "Saeculum", or "Nihil sub Sole", or, from the book of Romans, "Ex Fide in Fidem".
On the other hand, if Latin is too pretentious you could always go for a more modest intellectual title, such as "The Blog of the World's Cleverest Person", or "Profound Musings of a Very Brainy Individual", or "Sounding the Depths of Life's Greatest Questions", or "I Could Have Given This a Latin Name If I Wanted".
Hmm. Now even Brainpoo is starting to sound pretty good....
Claire Joy and Steph,
Thanks for visiting my blog. And thanks for saying you like 'Brainpoo' as a title. But you are right, it does say something about you!
But it says it about me too.
TB, have you tried all your e-mail addresses? Perhaps try a hotmail. I remember I had similar troubles, but then it all suddenly started to work.
Happy New Year. (PS. I've loved your posts of late).
As for the rest of you and your brilliant suggestions ... the result will be posted shortly!
