What is in a Name?

It took me forever to decide what to name this thing. I had all kinds of names, none of which were right. I wanted a name that would truely represent all that I am-- a partnered black queer trying to have a baby, but somehow they all seemed reductive. I wanted to be deep and simplistic at the same time.

Some of the names I came up with include:
afrosis.blogspot.com
isishibiscus.blogspot.com (don't ask!)
queerconcepts.blogspot.com
queerwomaninsearchofmotherhood.blogspot.com
newworldqueerafricanmotherjourney.blogspot.com

My life's time clock has been shifted to accommodate that tiny egg, and everything else has been framed by my new sense of being and time.
