howzabout "Serious Dan"?

If I didn't like it so much, I'd suggest "Drezful." How about "Drezfuel" Since your name is associated with your blog, I suggest you keep it. Cute little puns won't add too much to the 1,000,000 you already have.

Ted

"Don't mess with the Drez"? Obvious, but too lame, would be "Drez for Pres", or "Oh Danny boy" (and you're not Irish I think). Or, as a tribute to the quality of your thought AND the pictures you put up, what about "Hot thinking" or "Hot stuff" ("Britney watch" would not really do justice to the blog)? Or, with reference to your middle initial, "The other W".

don't lose the "Z". so...
it's delightful, it's delicious, it's "dedrezzled".
or
bedrezzled
or
drezlocks

Fred?

How about "Not Andrew Sullivan"?

Or: "Salma Hayek &c."

Or, more seriously: "Demos" (for your pro-democratization stance).

Daniel W. Drezner's Eponymous Blog, Daniel W. Drezner

"Ohh, fo' Drezzle my nezzle-shezzle"
"The Drezner letters"
"Dreznernomicon"
but, if you really want the hits to spike, I suggest:

"Britney Spears' guide to economics, globalization and pop culture"

Too Many "I"s in My Writing

James Joyner's suggestion - heck, if REM can do it, why not Drezner?

Alternatively - "Drezner's blog about Hayek - either one"

Drez Sez....

(Has a catchy sound, and is suggestive of a old fashioned newspaper column. Might make the dead tree guys like you better. And if they start to like you, grants may follow..)

Blog name?

www.DreznerPost.com

you keep your name
play on major media rag titles

or how about...

www.worthreading.com

because it is

How about "Balanced Right"?

Drezblog.

Don't make a move on this without consulting this crystal ball :-)

Poli DrezDan
The Untenured Perspective

Perspectives by Dan
Professor Dan's Gothic Spotlight

how about doctordrez.com? I think it would make a bettter domain name, too. ;-)

May I suggest "Zardoz"

"Big Gay Dan's Big Gay Blog" ?

Zardoz... now that's a weird flick.

Or: "Ha!"

Or: "To sum up"

Or: "Dan non-Volokh"

Or: "Insta-Dan"

Or: "Insta-Republican"

Or: "Dan Rumsfeld"

Or: "Shaken, not stirred"

Or: "One for the road"

Or: "WWDS? (What Would Dan Say?)"

Or: "Ivory itchings"

Or: "Between breaks"

Or: "There you go again"

Or: "In a fit of absence of mind"

Or: "Chicago blues"

Or: "Chicago elephant"

Or: "Not Milton Friedman"

Or: "It's morning again"

Or: "My Fellow Americans"

Or: "Chicago Civ Watch"

"Dah Dee"

"Mr D's"

"Dr D"

"Mr Right"

I vote for keeping it as is, but if you must change it, Drez Sez by apalled moderate works for me. Keep your name there somewhere, you did it, take credit for it.

It's own name? Don't get pathetic on us.

If you do this thing, the least you can do is show some dignity and call it "...before the fall"

Really Drezner: Why not ask your wife the big question:
"At this point, it's really about my ego, isn't it - and I should probably be spending more time with you.

"Rhymes with Asner"
"Double D"
"Drez for Success"

I say keep it the way it is too. Aren't you supposed to be a conservative?

Rename it "Quetzalcoatl W. Chalcuhuite." Teach 'em a lesson.

How about "Drez Den"?

NippleDreams
or
The Hairy Arsed Assassin

Both sound fantatsic :D

Under Drez's Fez

How about -

Soapbox

RightyTightyLeftyLoosey

RightStuff

My suggestion: Tenurable Activity. Say it enough, and people might actually believe it. :-)

If not, I'd suggest something vaguely sinister like "The Drezner File."

D Blog

You mayh should change your handle to that as well since that's what I mentally insert when I read your stuff.

Dan's Club

Drezner House

David Thomson Trolls Here

DWD-40

Picture this:

http://sisu.typepad.com/sisu/2004/01/_daniel_w_drezn.html

You've Got Tenure!
Daniel's Boon
Eponymous
Common Cents
Instapundit West
Drezneromics

How about...

Drezner's Laboratory

Note: Dexter has a sister named DeeDee as well!

"Dispatches From The Overclass."

What’s with the W stuff? Just give them the web address of the site. The current eponymous www.danieldrezner.com is near perfect. The W is something of a tongue twister. It also makes our host sound too pretentious and something of a nerd.

“David Thomson Trolls Here”

That’s a wonderful idea. Dan can even post my picture on his blog:

http://www.afunk.com/other/trolls/index2.html

Ain’t I just gorgeous? Who in hell needs Ben Affleck or Tom Selleck when you have me around?

Tenurable Activity

Chris Lawrence, that's hilarious. Good one.

www.dreznought.com

How about something from the Elton John song Daniel. Maybe "You See More Than I."

Congratulations!

I LIKE your first name:
Daniel D
which becomes www.danield.com (if available),
and people who visit are danield'
(or danield'd if excessively grammatic).

You can say, visit my blog, Daniel D ...
because it's so good.

[Drez Sez
Drez Den best of last namers]

I'll save you time on danield availability:
"Future Home of a Dotster Registered Domain" $14.95 go there and I'll donate!

How about Doctor Dan, Chicago Dan, or danblog?

AKB

Whatever you do, do NOT call it Drezpundit.

I rather like Tenurable Activity. Perhaps if you translated it into Latin?

other than that, how about:
Dan from Chicago (sounds like talk radio)

Neutiquam Erro (I am not lost, courtesy of http://www.zippynet.com/pages/latin.htm )

Ted K.

DreznerDribble

So, how about:

1. "Drezner's Dregs" or
2. "The Daily Dregs"?

There are a grillion blogs out there with snappy clever names. In many cases, the only thing clever is the name. Are you sure you want to join them?

One of the strengths of this blog is that it gains a certain amount of gravitas due to it's being written by a guy with serious academic credentials who posts under his own name. Since you are to a certain degree putting your professional reputation on the line, people take you more seriously.

Contrast this to my blog:

www.RamblingsOfSomeAnnomyousGuyNobodysEverHeardOf.com

Some suggestions:

Dapper Dan gets busy with tha Ladies

PenisPundit (still not used!)

Wonks gone Wild - Dispataches from Dan Drezner/Bread DeLong Cyber-War

A vanishing breed - Notes from an American Male that hasn't been married to Britney Spears (mention JLo for some bonus points)

Thanks Dan for you great blog!

"Bread DeLong"? Sounds tasty.

in a shout out to your jewish heritage, as well as your hard nosed commentary, how about "the lion's den"?

I wonder how Britney is going to celebrate her 1,000,000 marriage?

If hit-generation is the goal, I would suggest "Paris Hilton"

However, that may not help out the "Tenurable Activity" that Chris speaks of.

As a fellow bloggin' prof, I would suggest:

"I Really Should be Working..."

or

"I'll Get Back to the Book in a Minute..."

or

"This Sure Beats Grading."

Ok, back to real suggestions...

"Eponymous"

Dan The Near-Sighted Proctologist?

Danny Dubya?

Your Daily Dose With Disco Dan?

DeeDoubyaDee?

You Down With The Dee Doubya Dee [Yeah You Know Me]?

In honor of "Oxblog", I'd also suggest "ChicBlog".

"drezstapundit"!

"tenurable activity" has to be the best suggestion so far..

and a better description vis a vis knoxville would be "instapundit north "

"dreznought" works well ... or perhaps "the drezstar"

"Lake Shore Drezner"

In honor of the Colts linebacker, "IR-Drez Bashir"

"The Daniel Drezner Show" (Hi Dan!)*

"A Conspiracy of One"

"Chi-BLOG-O" (oh, wait, that's taken)

"Blog to Perdition"

"The Seven Words You Can't Say in Front Of Will Baude"

* (You'd have to dress it up in that old yellow Cooper font like The Bob Newhart Show's title sequence.)

Throw these on the pile:

"Tastes Like Drezner"
"Getchyer Drezner Here!"
"Drezner Who? Oh, yeah- right."
"You Drezner, you brought 'er"

(..back to the bathtub)

Dan;
Offered in some mild fun:

Daniel's Den? (A little dry, perhaps but...)

Insta-Drezner? (Oops, already been done)

The Double D cup? (Boy won't THAT confuse 'em! Big topics, though...)

Drezner & Company? (Possible legal hit, here)

Drezner's DataBase? (shrug)

Drezner's Outlook? (Shrug)

Bob

With four suggestions for "eponymous," I think it best you give the term its due and let the rest of America and Big Media spread the word. "Daniel Drezner blogs at his eponymous site."

"Planet Bob" sounds pretty good too, but kidding aside, your name is now its own brand.

Constructive Abandonment?

;-)

Drezlocks (alt. Natty Drez, other puns on rasta use of the word "dread")

On the Drez

Drezervations (alt. Off the Drezervation)

Undrezzed

DrezDen

Drezner Industries

Or you could go with The Book of Daniel, Lions Den, Fiery Furnace, etc.

Daniel

Your interviewers' mumbling awkwardness is their problem, not yours. You're so good they should name you twice: This is Daniel Drezner who blogs on Daniel Drezner Dot Com - what's so hard? And congratulations on your heady numbers...

Since everyone else is going with plays on Drezner, how about "Dreznaught"?

Or for the comic book fans, "Judge Drezz."

You could go with econ-themed names, like "Daniel Drezner's Comparative Advantage" or "Daniel Drezner's Intellectual Economy" or "Drezner's Chicago Style" (sounds like a pizza joint).

Really, though, I like the branded name. I refer to bloggers by their names anyway, so having a branded site doesn't bother me.

Drezblog.

Beldar is right.

Short.
Easy to type.
Easy to remember.
Has "blog" in it.
Has "Drez" in it.

In review, all I can say is "if it ain't broke, please don't fix it."

It ain't broke.

Dan: I like um Clem's comments keep your name in there and avoid something catchy.

However, I will ask my wife who is amazing sometimes in coming up with names.

Always thought a good name for a blog would be:

D'Tocqueville

Your blog is about Democracy in America...

Go for something that reflects your unique take. That take is what generated the 1mil hits.

I know this won't win but I thought I'd share--

This evening I send a link from this site to my co-blogger Arminius, who remarked that he had not read your blog in a while. What he actually said was that he

"Forgot About Drez".

If you don't catch the West Coast rap reference, don't worry, forget you ever read this ...

Congratulations on the million hits. Now your various hits can march of Washington in protest of something or other which you find particularly nasty.

Call your blog: "The Drezerian Modality" or simply "Dreznerian Modality." Your name has to be included in some form, 'cos that's what got you this far.

As ever yours,
Mark Kilmer

Hi, Dan. Here is a Web site name suggestion: OLD CURRENCY

it fits your politics in a way

it also fits your current web design

and it should last forever

and its dialectic

What did you want for nothing?

The Drez Dispenser. (The logo practically Photoshops itself!)

Daniel W. Drezner is fine, maybe take out the W if you really want to. Otherwise, I think "Eponymous" is very good (Thank you bob mcmanus).

How about "associate press" until tenure comes through...
