Blog name - how important is it?

[Ginnybean]

Looking for some opinions please. How important is a blog name? Strange that I find myself wondering so much, if it was a business name I would have no problems!!!!!

Lets use an example. A blog on staycations (my sister in laws current favourite topic and always seems to be in my head). What do you think would work best?

Jane Smith - the blog is persons name
Staycations UK today - use the word blogging about with some other words
No More planes - name which is sort of descriptive but does not include the word blogging about?

Thanks

(For the record my sister in law is not called Jane!!!)

I've covered this on Totally Blogging before

It's easy at the start getting sucked into trying to find the perfect name that means all the different facets you are trying to cover.

Look at this one, The Money Shed, what the heck does that even mean??? a shed?????? Shed of money????

It's all about what you do when you GET that domain and how you build that brand

If you are looking for something to do with staycations then, in my opinion, the bottom one is the best as it gives you the most flexible scope going forward
