Last week I mentioned that I’d be taking a few weeks off to concentrate on the Wizbang redesign. At some point this week I’m going to throw open the doors to the community portion of this site. That’s the part of Wizbang where you provide the content. There’s more details coming on how to signup (it will be automated), and what you can publish, but know that the site is technically ready to go…
The question is what to call it? Wizbang Diaries doesn’t quite sound right…
That calls for a contest…
I don’t have much to offer for the person who comes up with the best suggestion for a name, but I do have a promotional copy of newly released DVD, The Aristocrats
. That DVD will go to the best suggestion (in my opinion) for a community name.
I want to name the site prior to opening signups, so I’m going to pick a winner on Wednesday.
Tell all your friends…
Update: It’s probably worth mentioning that the Wizbang brand name will proceed whichever entry is picked. For example, Wizbang Tech, Wizbang News, Wizbang Podcast, etc…
Gangbangers.
“WIZ BIZ”
“Wizbang Soapbox”
“Wizbang Podium”
WizBangBang
WizBangGang
I think “Wizbang Gangbang” sounds a little better then “gangbangers”.
“WIZZERS”
“
“WIZBLOGS”
“WIZZINGS”
Wizbang Harangue
For background, here’s the word’s origin from Answers.com: Middle English arang, a speech to an assembly, from Old French harangue, from Old Italian aringa, from aringare, to speak in public, probably from aringo, arringa, public square, meeting place, of Germanic origin.
“Taking A Wiz”
Do I get a cash prize for coming up with this?
Wizbang Diablogue
The Wizbang Commons – as in, where everyone is allowed to assemble.
How about…
Wiz Missives (or a variant like WizMissives)
Wizbang! Bloglets
Wizbangings
The Wizbangbang guy kinda beat me to my thought, but..
BANG!

To continue the pyrotechnic motif:
Wizbang Squibs & Sparklers
And yes I realize I switched it up a it, but think of the picture…
Wizbangers!
Whizbang Slang
Hmmm.
1. “Nobody beats the Wiz!”.
Of course that’s copyrighted or trademarked but it sounds good!
2. So are you going to use AJAX?
A few, some better than others, but I’ll throw em out and see what sticks:
Wizbang Pantheon

On the gangbang front: WizGangBang
The Romper Room
Wizbang for Dummies?

The Wizbang Exchange
Wizbang’s Place for People Too Lazy to Start Their Own Damn Blogs
Yeah, I got nothing. I personally second jmaster’s Wizbang Harangue.
WizBingBangBong!
WizBang Boom or
WizBang Room
Although I would give my second vote to WizBang Gang – I thought that too, but saw it had been already posted.
Be sure to let folks know what they are getting with “The Aristocrats” — not exactly the DVD to pop into the player for a night with the kiddies.

Wizbang! Outhouse, where all can add.

a really goofy name could lead the reader to misunderstand.
