Laura and I are starting a blog about news and reviews of things in South King County, and currently it has a very lame title that I'm not going to share. Neither of us can come up with something good so far, so I turn to you, LJ, to give us ideas.

I'd like a title that at least hints that this is a local blog, and where it's for. I'd like to avoid naming a specific community down here. And I'd like it to be at least a little catchy and interesting. (My original idea was "South End Sirens", but decided on the balance that that wouldn't work.)

Ideas?

I'm flashing on old Almost Live sketches...COPS in Auburn!...

I really like "Rag" for titles of newspapers/news sources. Cornel University (nickname "Big Red") has a radical feminist newsletter called "The Big Red Rag." I love that title for its cleverness as well as its slightly gross in-your-face feminist audacity.

I know you don't want to use a specific community name so this won't work, but that newsletter title makes me think of "Renton Rag." I wonder if there is some other way you could use Rag--I like the other associations like yellow journalism and old-timey ragtime music.

Out and About in the South End?

A little long, but I liked the repetition of vowel sounds.

"The Critical Heirs of Mother Damnable". No one would get it, but it's, er, local color. [grin]

SOCO - like how SODO was for South of the Dome.
But that might be too much like an abbreviation for "Southern Comfort".
BTW - Chris just told me about the word "Aukeen" which was used to describe the Auburn Kent Enumclaw area.
