I have a love/hate relationship with my blog name. On one hand, I love the name because it's so me. When I started back to work after Luke was born, a co-worker expressed her admiration that I was able to teach all day, then go home and take care of Luke. I quipped that I was a school teacher by day, but I was a superhero at night. I added in that if she ever stopped by unannounced, she'd see that my Kryptonite was totally housework.
On the other hand, I kind of hate because it's SO long. I like to be concise. I tell my students to keep titles short and to the point, yet look at me. If I ever wanted to switch over to a URL, my title is way too long, unless I want to be in the running for longest URL EVER, which I don't so much. But yet, I can't THINK of another title or even another way to describe what's me because I have so much of myself in this title. Sure, I am a total makeup junkie, but I'm not sure how to turn that into a title. And I don't really blog about makeup much (but I should start because I freaking love makeup and sparkles and lipgloss is my life).
So, what do I do? Keep it? Change it? If you give me a totally awesome idea for a totally awesome name, I will forever love you and do something fabulous for you. Because right now, between pregnancy and this lovely head cold (courtesy of my students), I've got about two braincells going. And on two braincells, all you're going to get out of me is babbling about how I like sparkly lipgloss. (And I do. I don't care what magazines say about age appropriate makeup, EVERYone needs at least one sparkly lipgloss.) Help a girl out!

I'm sure the ruby & roja girls can figure something out for you that would be PERFECT.
I like it. Don't change it. Or, come up with a one word one and use the name as your tag line.
I like your name. It is you. It is all we've ever known you by. But, I can see where maybe you're ready for a change. Of course, I am not at all creative that way, so I don't have any names to suggest.
To be honest, I really love your title!! Especially the story behind it!
You could do www.schoolteacher-superhero.com maybe. If it's available.
I really like the name. I can't think of anything more appropriate for you. If just fits. Sorry, I guess that doesn't help much!
I love your name, too! It is so easy to remember and it is YOU! But... if you do decide to change, I will love THAT name, too, because you will always make me laugh and think...
And, oh... I also love sparkly lipstick, and I'll try just about any make-up. I LOVE dark, smokey eyes. I put a lot of dark eye shadow on yesterday morning to experiment a little and then Barry wanted me to go to the YMCA with him. OK. I did. Loaded with dark eye shadow. Can you say "hooker"? But then I was all... whatever. If you don't like the eye-liner and shadow dripping down my cheeks onto the treadmill that you'll soon be using... oh well! Thank God I have a very forgiving husband with a great sense of humor!
Maybe I should re-name my blog "Yooker"... you know, Y hooker!?
I like the title! I relate to it! LOL!
You could shorten it to Superhero if you want, because that's what I call you!

I know what you mean. My blog title was actually long and I dropped part of it just because. How about"Mrs. Teacher and Super Mom!" Like Dr. Jekyll and Hyde kinda? Two Identities of some sort. Maybe little baby inside tummy has a better idea. :)
I like the title and it caught my eye and made me check out you blog :)
I like your title too, but "Teacher plus 2 equals Superhero" came to mind. It's kind of funny how our titles come about.
You could just shorten it to "Superhero By Night."
I'm not so good at blog naming. Sorry I can't be of more help!
