So....why the Sole Child?
My original gut was to go with the name Onlythe(L)Only to describe the loneliness encountered by only children after they lose their parents. There were only two problems with this name. First, the format was not accepted as a domain name. Second, when I removed the brackets, the name was already taken.
I moved onto my second choice....OnlytheOnly. Again - taken!
So where does a creative mom go to find a new name for a blog go? Why searching for synonyms of "only child" on Google and bam! I found "Sole Child". Before I got too excited, I had to check to ensure that the name would work when I plugged it into the "create a new blog" area and it wasn't taken. I was in luck. I decided to scoop it up and claim it as my own.
See, I love the idea of Sole Child. I love the play on words with this and especially for this format. For me, the current spelling it symbolizes being an only child for me. I also love that it plays well into the homonym of Soul. I have been on a soul/sole journey since experiencing the tsunami of loss and finding my new normal.
So please join me on my sole/soul journey! It may be a rambling one but it is mine.
