The current name -- and the current format -- are the perfect mix of intriguing, amusing, inspiring, and thought-provoking. And I enjoy the wide variety of topics, themes, and thoughts. I never know what I am going to learn or what new images will fill my head and add new colors to my own thoughts going forward. In short, everything is perfect, just as you have it. I understand the drives to rebrand, reinvent, and create spinoffs -- but my vote is that you’re already doing something wonderful. And brilliant. And authentic. And valuable.
I like your current one best. But “The Flights of Pluckery” that WanderFinder suggested is good. Also WanderFinder is an great name, so trust their vote!
I constantly wonder also if I should change my publication name. This is probably a side effect of being “multitudes” or multipotentialites. So you don’t actually need to change it.
On a related note, I'm sure if I just wrote about *one* theme I would get more readers, but that's so unappealing for me. One theme would also make it easier to choose a name of course, but again, unappealing...
Good luck choosing and I'll keep reading regardless
OK this is asking a lot but would you ever think about splitting up your publications and giving them different identities? Like, I like all these names but I also like your current one ... I wonder if different people would subscribe to different ones?
America/American Politics -- What Pluckery is This
Just some thoughts, you really do contain multitudes, which is incredible. Oh, yeah, reading/movie/music recommendations. I almost forgot about those. Under What Pluckery is This or its own category? Whew, it's like opening the mind of Zeus and having a lot of Muses pop out.
Technically you can subscribe to The Pine Baron, Plucking Around, and What Pluckery is This? separately. I'll probably keep the same name. I dunno. I'm tired and need a nap :)
Oh I forgot It's TomPluckated and that's what I voted for! Maybe the reviews one? I realize I'm just being a librarian here and trying to sweep everything into categories, ignore me if this isn't helpful.

Thank you very much, Jenny. I guess the name isn't the important thing.

I like the current name...
I got very tangled thinking about what to name my blog. I changed it just a few weeks after starting. (https://kaspa.substack.com/p/whats-in-a-name)

Great read! Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks. I'm leaning towards keeping it.

Fiction -- something like Flights of Pluckery
History/Road trips/New Jersey/Pine Barrens -- Containing Multitudes
America/American Politics -- What Pluckery is This

Napping is always the answer. 😁

I vote for keeping the one you have, personally.
I agree. I like it the best
"Multitudes" is good.
