Thinking of renaming the site (but nothing really changes)

Since the day I moved the site to a VPS I've been thinking of changing the site's name.
Mostly because I think it is bland. There's nothing wrong with it, but nothing memorable either. I think?

And as I established in earlier posts, I won't change the domain. Because it seems like a lot of work. Well, and also because I don't have a clue which name to choose. But also, it is work.
Changing the title? That's easy, just a search & replace on the site's repo, and I am good to go.

The last in a long list of terrible names is: "Hoagie's bin of thoughts".
I gave up on trying to use the word "rant" in the title, because it always sounds more negative than I intend, no matter how much I try to pair it with another word that highlights how ridiculous the fact that I have a website is.

I find amusing that I care so much about the name of something as lighthearted and un-self-important[1] as this place. Or at least I like to think of it as that. It is just a little...corner? A small...place...? My internet...something?
My corner of the internet?
No wait, that's the current name. 👀

Footnotes
  1. I looked for antonyms of "self-important" here, but none conveyed the same meaning that my made up word. Sorry.
