Are you a teacher, educator or someone from the teaching industry who has recently decided to start a blog? Or perhaps you’re just thinking about it. Well, the first thing you will need is a great name, and to find the perfect one, it helps to get lots of ideas first.

Most people don’t really have a clue about what makes a catchy name. Even teachers. They just don’t teach you the art of naming at school. So, you should take a few moments to figure out the basics, which can easily be done by reflecting on some names that you like and identifying what’s special about them.

From the following list of 58 teaching blogs, there is a wide spread of naming styles that have been used to come up with meaningful names that instantly communicate what the blog focuses on, or some characteristic of the blogger behind it.

For example, ‘The Frugal Teacher’ or ‘Momma Teacher Lady’ lets you know a bit about the writer, but you don’t know what grade she teaches or the angle of the content they publish.

On the other hand, ‘Third Grade Love’ or ‘5th Grade Tomfoolery’ gives you insights into who’s in the blogger’s classroom and what lens the blog looks at them through.

You will also notice slightly more boring names that simply get to the point (ie ‘4th and 5th Grade Blog’) as well as more sophisticatedly creatives names like ‘Minds in Bloom’, ‘Rainbows within Reach’ and ‘Conversations in Literacy’.
