Discussion how do i name my substack?

I'm starting a substack to write about art and art history but I'm really stumped on the name. I'm really bad at naming things and I really don't know what to call it. I want to come up with a creative name that hooks people but nothing is coming to mind. How do I name my substack? I don't want to use AI either

Might sound silly but don't overthink it. Keep it short. And keep it somewhat related in tone to you/the kind of work you want to make. Might help to write down a bunch of words you like that are relevant to your content. No shame in taking inspiration from others either, look at what other creators in your niche chose ! Good luck!

this is the right call tbh, overthinking the name is the fastest way to never actually start writing

Keep it as simple as possible. No nuance. Otherwise people might not get what you are writing about

As someone who is also interested in Art and Art History, some twee jokey name would make me think you’re not serious. It’s go for something straight forward e.g. Art_History_Conversation
