Heck, I was just curious when I asked the question! Didn't know it already on the minds of so many. Wanted to search to see if it had already been in discussion but couldn't decide what *keyword* to use.

In honor of Doc John's PsychCentral, how about DisorderCentral or IllnessCentral ? I Googled both and found no matches.

This is what I've seen mentioned so far but could be totally wrong. :o

Excellent and thank you!

KD

I also liked the "wellness" concepts that MrsD mentioned, plus many of the other suggestions

my personal choice would be "BT2 Health Central" :cool:

I like everything that everyone has mentioned I just miss the medical dictionary, as well as the drug info. that we used to be able to get.

Sue

Hey, Sue ...

No worry. Those features do not belong to JL or OBT. They are just links to other websites -

Public Library of Science
http://www.plos.org/

Dictionary & Thesaurus
http://www.dictionary.com/

Medical Dictionary
http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/omd/

PubMed
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/

Drug Info
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginformation.html

If DocJohn is willing to provide these links on this site, nothing lost.

Theresa

I like Health Central too, but we need to stay away from anything that is already a website or trademark (hence the reason we're moving away from BT)....

Thanks!
John

Silly question here I'm sure.

Whatever the name is...are our choices .org, .com, and .net??? I'm not sure of the differences.

I'd personally like to stay away from anything related to 'brain'. Reminds me too much of Braintalk (original) but then, that's just me. :D

I still like NeuroTalk also. With Braintalk we managed to get people in there with illnesses not related to just neuro, so I guess I'm not so worried about that.

I also still think something+central would be nice...so we can be like Psych Central when we grow up. :D

Does anybody know a fast way to run all those names to see which are available -- plus the .com, .net, .org part of it?

that would help narrow it down some.

one word or two at most
 

It should be easy to remember so that if you pass it on to someone they don't have to write it down.

I still like "NeuroTalk" but also like"

BrainStorm (with a very cool logo)
Central (short for central nervous system)
NerveTonic
WeGotNerve

As for the color scheme, let's shift the whole thing into the green.

Rick

How about "You Name it, We got it!"

or "Everything You thought You Knew"

or "Everything from Soup to Nuts" no, people would think we cooked. :D

But remember this place was developed at the beginning as a temporary forum to fill in til hastypastry was repaired- but now that we are permanent - we can go in any direction we decide to.

That's how we can make our own identity- we won't have to stick with neuro, we can branch out.

Wow, Lara - do I ever see what you are talking about. Heavens, even the Merck Manual for patients is a vastly better resource than that. They sell their books yearly, so they have to keep on top of things.

I'm with you, in other words. This forum can have whatever links it wants.

Hey Rick! YES, you are completely right. It must be short, hopefully catchy (for easy remembering), easy to spell.

Maybe it would also be possible to add a "bookmark this page" button so they don't have to remember twice?? ;)

Even earlier today, I was with MrsD on this one. To me, Neuro reminded me of a doctor or medical clinic, a hospital floor or wing. Didn't feel right to me -- but I've softened on it a bit. The MAJOR part of my turn-around is my conviction that there should be no confusion whatsoever that this forum is for Neurology patients and Neurological conditions. But both those words are too long and difficult to spell.
so .. NEXT :p

I LOVE BRAINSTORM!! So fine. SO FINE!!!

And NerveTonic is too cute for words. I'm old enough to remember the nerve tonics for "nervous conditions" on the pharmacy shelves!!

And, most certainly, us uppity people over here at BT2 can certainly tell the world, "WeGotNerve"!!! :D

We guys do have creative minds. I commend us all!

Theresa

LOL. Somebody was fast on the draw with that one.

http://www.brainstorm.org

Oh dear...sorry, Beth...:o .....I missed that you had suggested DisorderCentral right before me....

2 votes for DisorderCentral!! ;)

Brainstorm is very big with Epilepsy...
Books written with this name and I like it but would not suggest for the forum name

Keep them coming...you all have great ideas:D

Hi Theresa,

Thanks for asking :). YES, Gluten Sensitivity/ Celiac Disease causes wide ranging neurological disease. I asked for the forum to be set up on BrainTalk because the neurological manifestations are widely unrecognized (because our doctors think of it as primarily a gastrointestinal disease, but it can present soley as neurological disease).

Celiac Disease can be asymptomatic, and neurological disease can occur with or without gastrointestinal symptoms. The neurological problems are caused by both immunological factors (Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disease) and nutritional factors (particularly deficiencies of folate, B1, B6, B12, E).

Because a gluten free diet is the only treatment, our forum does focus a lot on dietary advice and information on nutritional deficiency.


I would like the new forum name to keep a focus on neurology. I like NeuroTalk and BrainStorm. Back to regular scheduled discussion on naming of the forum~ just couldn't pass on an opportunity to answer your question :D.

Cara

Anyone interested in more can check out The Gluten File or visit our GS/CD forum!

I like neurotalk! I will be on both forums. Thanks again DocJohn!

what about BrainWaveCentral?

NerveCenter or
NerveCentral?


NerveNetwork or
NeuroNetwork?

NeuroWorld or
NeuroFamily? Sorta feel like we are a "family", and we offer forums for a family on conditions under the neurology umbrella, so to speak

WhatNerve or
ShatteredNerves or

CNSCoffeeShop - I kinda like this cause we offer a "menu" of sorts, and the atmosphere is similar to the old-style coffee shops. We have our regulars, but you never know who might drop by, just pull up a chair and enjoy a chat with old friends, dish out or ask for advice, or sit back for some long-winded conversations with the old-timers - you know, the ones who always sit at the counter ;) :p

oh wow! i really like CNSCoffeeShop...

we could go further with CNS*Pit*Stop or CNS*Discovery... I really like the "CNS" in the title, though.

KD

neurobistro
 

I have decided that I really like NeuroNetwork.... alot!
but when I typed it out...people may not remember how to spell it.
It looks like neuron......neuronetwork

one of the reasons "braintalk" works well is the b and the t are raised and actually help to sepreate the words visually making it easy to remember and recall.
think about how the runon words look too...
make sense?
also will it have to be case sensitive?
What about neurobistro....
reminds me of my cousin
bizi

I like NeuroNetwork, too!

CNS Coffee Shop is cute, too.

How about CNS Underground?

I like www.neurofamily.com

I like both of these but also like ReachingoutReachingyouNeuro.Org

Has *The Brain Domain* been mentioned? I think that sounds good when spoken. ;)

KD

Docs Health Haven:D

lol KD I think its time for bed.....lol
Sounds like you have had a long day...:D

hugs

LOLOL I thought I'd deleted my "slap happy" nuttiness before anyone saw it. ;)

*crawling off to bed now*

KD

Have a good night, everyone!

KD

Thank you, Cara, for teaching me so much. Wow, it is really a serious disease. I can see why correcting is so urgent - and now I know why people are so disciplined in maintaining what can be a very difficult-to-follow diet.

Thank you so much for taking the time for me. Okay, I am feeling so much better. I had spent a few hours of worrying that a lot of non-neuro illnesses were sneaking in --- but now I think that what was being referred to was the community features we have in "Health & Related Topics" where there are so many needed areas....

Like Vitamins, Nutrients, Herbs & Supplements (GREAT name, btw :) I like it ALOT) and Medications, CareGiver Support, Coping with Grief & Loss, Living with Disabilities and Weight Loss Support.

My anxiety attack is all gone now. :D Thanks bunches. - Theresa

Name input plucked from the depths of my brain
 

BrainWaveCentral, neurotalk, and BrainMatters are top contenders for me. I love the double meaning in BrainMatters. I think neurofamily communicates the essence of our community. Families are there when it matters (generally speaking). Relationships have been forged here, and compassion is shown to all. Our commonalities do create the sense of family. There have been a lot of great names suggested.

David

great name beth!

Neurons and Stalkers
 

YES - BrainMattersTalk turns into brainmatterstalk .. and the word stalk literally leaps out at you.

Yes, it sure does. And it is a good thing for us to keep in mind. Nearly all the places where you find links to website, they are done in all lowercase.

My brain is swirling with ideas... need to sleep on them...

Theresa

NeuroFamily .. http://www.neurofamily.org
 

I agree, David. NeuroFamily has every thing. Neuro specifies the topics covered (not just brain, not just nerves). And family, so much the feel, the sense, that I came to not just like, but need.

neurofamily. Looks good in lowercase, too. ;) - Theresa
