What.do.I.call.my.Blog 2.0

Oh dear oh dear. What a slow start to such a motivated blogging career! I have definitely decided I need to change my blog name buuuut have been unable to actually decide what name succinctly describes my blog intentions, whilst still being appealing, recognizable etc etc with the added parameter of not being taken.
I have tossed and turned for two days and have come up with 6 options. I am now sending these out into the blogosphere for a wish, a prayer... but above all input to help me make my decision.
I should probably confess at this point that it took me 10 years to commit to my first Barbour jacket and that I was only able to do after some very sound advice from EAS of LetTheTidePullYourDreamsAshore. *EAS, help? please?*

Ok so the options *drum roll* are:

• The Perpetual Wishlist  (because let's face it, I will never have everything I want...)
• Classic Knots (in reference to my love of all things nautical, classic and timeless) 
• Euro Prep (living in Europe, I consider myself a bit of a Euro version of American prep) 
• Quite Preppy (as in "we exude prep, don't we? quite, quite!" This one is my favorite, although I don't know why..)
• Indulgence meets Frugality (doesn't exactly roll off the tongue... but describes my lifestyle pretty well)
• A Gracious Indulgence (because it's softer than the previous option... ok, ok, this is the last option... my idea tank was depleted!!)

Please, oh fellow kind and generous bloggers, voice your opinions on these blog title options! Alternative suggestions involving the words nautical, knots, prep, classic or related... are welcome too, natch.

What's in a name?

What is in the name of a blog?
For late comers to this blogging world, probably not much. I tried a few variations that seemed to relate to me and where I wanted this blog to go. Taken! Taken! Taken! So I started coming up with really random names. Oatmeal. Taken. Big circle. Taken. Banc. Yep, you guessed it - taken! I wonder how many bloggers before me settled on a name that's just that: a name. No deep thoughts behind it, no intriguing connection to what is to come, just...

........ a big stripe. Sure, why not.

Thank you for stopping by and checking back, may our cyber-paths cross again.
