Travel LJ name competition
So I'm off travelling and I intend to blog about it. I have decided to stick with what I know for blogging (ie LJ or similar) but am considering a new account for my travel blog so that I can give it to work people and others without worrying about them getting to my personal stuff trivially.

I'm trying to decide what a cool name for this second account would be though and so thought I'd open it to the floor for suggestions. there won't be a prize except of course for some kudos and the fact that every time you look at my travel exploits you'll see your suggestion there. That's an awesome prize really isn't it? :)

So go for it... all suggestions welcome...

Love the user pic, though I think I've commented before.

There must be one catchall term, even eurasia as a last resort

[info]lifeonvenus maybe? The account's been deleted and purged which I think means it's available.

There has to be something in your surname and going round the world...

VenusOrbitsEarth is maybe a bit long.

OrbitingVenus?

Sounds like a beaten up white van!

How about [Bad username: venus_exploration]?

Unfortunately the characcter limit is 15 for LJ usernames so even without the _ its too long. :(

I was about to suggest exactly the same - its a very cool name.

Unfortunately transit_of_venus is too long and transitofvenus is already taken. :(

Gah!

And deltaofvenus, which was going to be my next suggestion, is gone too. (And possibly less appropriate.)

What about [info]venusintransit?

That could work... I'm currently debating that and "venusinthesun" as my two front runner options...

If you were going to the states, then VinUS would do the trick... but you're not. Dang.

'Rough Guide to Venus'?

'Lonely Planet Venus'?

I can't think of any more popular travel guides.

Further tip - for more convenient blogging and updating and whatnot, I recommend having a look at Posterous. You can put in a blog post with all the bells and whistles by just writing an e-mail and attaching photos/etc. Means you can very quickly and easily update from a phone and so on.

Livejournal seems to allowing posting by e-mail as long as you have the appropriate account type and so on including image stuff. Its a good idea though that I will bear in mind since it might make it quicker to get blog posts done (though the current plan was a quick image upload followed by copying and pasting text into an LJ window which probably wouldn't be that much slower...
