For a brain-storming session on a name for a new local Indianapolis paper, these were some of our ideas. Apparently, I’m the only one who thinks the name “Naptown Argus” as a Indianapolis newspaper is laugh-out-loud funny. Hmmm. Too much Greek Mythology as a child, not enough playing outside.

Thank you soo much!!!! My life and my A+ is saved!!! Thanks for the names!!!!

What about the Paparazzi or the Tabloid?
I don’t know that Paparazzi or Tabloids are names of newspapers, are they? They’re more types.
Does anybody know an old newspaper joke/saying/ putting together reporter’s names with newspaper names, such as:
“Hello, I’m Dark from the Sun,” and you are?
“I’m Bright from the Star,” and this is my friend, Cash from the Register.”
I can’t remember all the cute combinations, and I only heard it once, from McPherson of the Albuquerque Tribune 50 years ago. Can anyone help?
for the ‘V’ entries there is ‘Voice’.
What about a name for a business organization called B.U.S. (beta upsilon sigma). I want to come up with something catchy that incorporates the name.. any ideas??

How about “Vendetta” for a “v” name? Sounds like something for a consperacy theorist’s newspaper. Anyway, thanks for the list. I used the Guardian for this project I’m doing.
