When I came up with the name Soapbox for the blog software that I'm building I was surprised that name wasn't already used for a similar product. I grew really attached to the name as it suited the product perfectly. Several months back I got a scare when I saw a new dotcom site pop up called soapboxit.com, I thought they would have a problem for sure with sharing the name soapbox. I contacted the owner of the site and to my surprise he didn't have any problem at all sharing the name. While I wasn't terribly excited about sharing the name, there wasn't much I could do.

When Microsoft came out with their new video sharing website I knew for sure the name Soapbox was no longer going to be usable. You guessed it, they decided to name their service Soapbox. I knew  that I didn't stand a chance fighting Microsoft for the rights to use the name Soapbox. Even the soapboxit.com changed their name to soapadoo.com

Now I need to come up with a new name for my blog software that is nearing completion. I'm looking for a catchy name that preferably relates to the product in some way.  If anyone has any ideas leave a comment, or email me.
