Famous Fesh

Last week I took the first step towards my glamorous career to-be as a world renowned writer..... you can laugh at me now, but you'll come begging for my friendship later. So we have at work a newsletter that is published quarterly, it's a decent publication and with around 200+ folks at the office it has a good readers base. I shared with the editor one of the posts I had here on my blog and I proposed I edit it out and offer him an article for every issue. He like the idea and offered me my very own column!

As a result I have been struggling over the last few days with the title of my column. Here's what I am considering about the title:
  • Needs to be catchy
  • Needs to have 'Fesh' in it. (yes my narcissistic instincts, sue me).
  • Needs to be short.
So far I've but together a list:
  • FeshFeshiyat
  • FeshFeshy
  • Chronicles of the Fesh
  • Ramblings of the Fesh
  • Fesh's Corner
  • SIMPL Fesh (read it as 'simple Fesh' but the first part is a business inside joke)
  • Fesh: Business Transformed. (again a business inside joke)
What do you think? Like any of them? All crap? Can you suggest?

Call me Fesh (which is the simplest and most reflective of what you want)

Fesh said...

Dude, very kool options, I like: Call Me Fesh! True very simple... bas mesh lacking on the catchy-ness factor? I mean would you be attracted to read a column for someone you don't know if it were called Call Me Fesh? Bas I like bardo :D

-Feshopotamia

-Feshtastic
-Feshilicious

Ok - I am not gonna think of anymore cause these are all great - but as a reader (& I will get my mind set into Non-Arabic reader form) I can tell you what sounds cool & what not:

- Feshopotamia: Loose it - not catchy, hard to pronounce.
- Fesh Nation: keep
- Feshtastic: too old school, been used 10 hundred times - you need origninality
- Feshilicious: Though it falls in the old school used before category - but here it just sounds so nice - keep.
- Feshfeshation: loose - literally unpronouncable - try to say 10 times in a row & you will know what I mean.
- Call me Fesh: Nice... keep
- And there was Feshfesh: loose. too long
- Wanted Fesh or Alive: Love it. Keep
- Ofeshial: People might think that it is a name or a word that means something, loose. (would be funny in the Egyptian market though since that is really how we pronounce the word official)
- O-Fesh Supplies: If you will talk about business or the corporate world - definately keep.
- Fesh Off: Na
- Fesh in Fesh Out: keep
- Fesh in a box: loose
- The after Fesh: doesnt signify anything - loose (listen man they are all good - but you gotta eventually narrow it down here)
- The Fesh Factor: That's one I would totaly use... I love it. (Notice in my own blog I spoke about the Bullshit Factor, The Bedan Factor...etc)
- Close encounters... blah blah - loose. Not catchy - too long.

No Hard Feelings! Just trying to help!

Cheers & congratulations on your VERY OWN column - YEPEEEEE!
