Choosing a name for a blog is definitely tricky, and it’s something you should think about for a while. Picking the wrong name at the start, and then realising a month in is a disaster. You either have to put up with the substandard name, or try and move to the new one, which can be very tricky.

When choosing a blog name, bear in mind it’s purpose. If it’s a personal blog about your life, then try yourname.com. However, if you are writing about cars, you might want to include a car keyword in the title, like ilovecars.com.

When choosing the domain, you should normally go for a .com domain, because everyone remembers them, and they look best. If you’re really not able to get a .com domain you like, try .org or your local extension, like mine is .co.uk.

Normally, I would advise to pick a relatively short, catchy domain that can’t be confused with anything else.

Now, where to register? If you’re going for a .com, I would advise that you register at GoDaddy, and if you’re going for a local extension, try a local registrar, they tend to be cheaper. Choose somewhere you trust, that’s the most important thing.
