what to call my magazine?
Research

What makes a good magazine name?
A: A magazine is an abstraction--essentially it's a bunch of pictures and words on a piece of paper. The name affects not only whether you buy it, but what it turns out to be once you get it. You can take the same magazine and call it Ribbons & Flowers or Outdoor Entertaining, and the name will create a largely different recollection of what it did for you. The name tells you what to expect to happen--and in that sense magazines are relatively poorly identified. They have names that are typically adjectival or abstract. There's no code to what kinds of names work, since selling a buff book is different from selling a general-interest book. But a name should be identifying a thing, or an attribute of a thing, not an idea or a philosophy.

After thinking long and hard about what to call my magazine, i decided from my research my magazine had to have a meaning so i researched meaning full words and one what really caught my eye was; bombilation, meaning; a sound that is like buzzing or humming. I think the name bombilation is wierd, querky and stands out. Therefore the name of my magazine is Bombilation.
