Name Change for Carnival of the Capitalists???

Here's the deal. There has been some concern that "carnival" in meta-blog features - collections of links - is overused. Thus the possibility of changing the name of Carnival of the Capitalists before it gets much more established.

There have been a handful of suggestions, but we are still inviting new ones if you have any. The poll below arbitrarily poses several possibilities, or you can prefer to keep the name, or you can specify that you are commenting with a different variant than those in the poll.

Here's a red flag to consider: Some of us thought Wealth of Notions was quite cool. I googled it today in quotes. It has seen surprisingly wide usage, most notably as the title of one or more economics works referred to by various sites. I am not sure whether that should eliminate the name from consideration, but I would certainly be less inclined to use it after learning that.

See what you think! Check out the poll and any comments already here when you arrive. If you see one you like in the comments, add a "me too on..." the one you liked, and choose the last answer on the poll.

Thanks!!


















Should Carnival of the Capitalists be renamed?
No, why mess with it.
Yes, to "Wealth of Notions"
Yes, to "Capitalist Cadre"
Yes, to "Cache of Capitalists"
Yes, to "Hoard of the Capitalists"
Yes, to "Circus of the Capitalists"
Yes, to "Capitalist Blog Fair"

Yes, to "Cavalcade of Capitalists"
None of those! My suggestion is in the COMMENTS and you'd better use it...

COMMENTS

I just came from the Carnival of the Capitalists page, which I found via 'Truth Laid Bear' - I did not know what a "Carnival," with regard to something like this, was... Seeing that page, though, I think I can assume what it is. I wonder how many "Carnivals" there are in the Blogosphere.

Creating 'Carnivals' is an interesting concept, and a good idea. I should look into these more.

You have a nice weblog. I don't know if I've ever been here, or commented here (I think I've seen your name before, though). Keep up the good work.

I'd go with Capitalist Running Dog Collective; it's catchy in its own special way. Heh.

Well, I can see that I'm not the only one who has problems with nested tables in Movable Type. *grin*

Don't really care. Personally I take a greater issue with "Capitalists" than "Carnival", but hey that's just me.

I voted for the Wealth of Notions. Because I love terrible puns.

However, I think "The Marketplace of Ideas" is a rather better allusion than "The Market of Ideas", and I'd vote for that....

May I suggest, "Prophets of Profits"? It's a little quirky, but I like the homophone.

LittleA, that one is kind of cool!

In honor of Hayek, "Surfing from Serfdom"?
