southsider2k5 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Many of you know that I run a little message board specifically for my hometown. I have been trying to think of a title for it, well besides the domain name, and I had an idea last night, but I am not quite sure how to say it. I wanted to describe it as something like "The voice of a City" or "The Voice of the City's people", or "the voice of the common people" or something like that... Basically what I want to hear is if "common" is a good word to use or not, or just stick with something else. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 How about just being realistic and calling it "The Voice Of 6 Or 7 People?" I think the phrase "common people" has a negative connotation for whatever reason, so I think I'd steer away from it. How about just using something like "The Voice Of ________" (whatever community, county, town, region you're targeting)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Is "The Voice of The City by the Lake" too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackie hayes Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Don't use "common". Do use "The Spoon River b****fest". Everyone will approve. Promise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 10:43 AM) How about "The Voice of Everyday City"? Honestly, that sounds like an awkward translation from a 1970's-era appliance manual.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a way to make the "common people" or "everyday people" thing sound good. AND I don't really have any other suggestions for you, so I'm just going to leave now.
