This is all great advice, and I don't even sell anything online. I think the name of my personal blog is funny, but this past week a woman refused to do a swap with me because of its name. It was her first impression, it offended her, and she didn't bother to read on and see what I was all about. Just like if I showed up at a job interview filthy or drunk, that was it, she was done with me. I'm not changing the name of anything, thought, because it is a personal blog, not sales, and I like it! Definitely THINK before you choose your name!

Since I'm an animal lover and love painting animals, I was trying to fit Westie into my name.....then I hit on Midwestie! I added the Lady part and I loved it. I used it on eBay, then used it again when I joined Etsy as a buyer. I will soon open my shop in Etsy as MidwestieLady too. I now live in Florida, in the middle on the west side, so I think that counts as Midwest - :-) And I still own a Westie. I can add to my name and make it Midwestie Lady Studio ...or Midwestie Lady Art. I like that we can use the capital letters as part of our names on Etsy. So when I write MidwestieLady ...you can read and understand it. When I chose my name I was living in the Midwest, plus I owned a Westie dog (A West Highland White Terrier.)
