I'm currently looking for a suitable name for a website dedicated for 'Hejab'. The site will contain everything there is to know about Hejab, from what the Quran says, Feature stories /role models, Poetry, Conditions forDress Codes and most importantly, Frequently asked questions - covering all kinds of questions that a would-be hejabi would want to know before donning the hejab. From What is Hejab? Why wear Hejab?, Who wears Hejab?, How to wear Hejab?, What hejabis are saying? Shop for Hejabi clothes. etc, we hope to cover all aspects so as to support sisters in making that decision, or to keep it.

Work is in progress currently, and I really appreciate it if sisters/brothers out there can come up with a name for the site.
Looking for...
1.something in english, something catchy and hip. The site will be very attractive inshaallah, with magazine stlye format.
2. A name that reflects the activities/characteristics of the site -which is mainly a support group for Muslim women.
3. it Promotes sisterhood
4. hmm.. ...still thinking..
What to avoid ...
1. I don't waant to use the word 'hejab' because it will be mispelt in the english language making it hard to locate online. I am avoiding all arabic-english-sized names as far as possible. (No Zaytun, Khadijah, Latifah, etc)
2. The name must be easy to remember, straightforward spelling of english word/s - no shortcuts, no variations of spellings other than that understood by most dictionaries.
3. No dashes, underscores either. e.g
Bad examble :http://sister_hood.com
Good Example http://sisterhood.com (but that's already blocked..*sigh*...)
4. Somebody else has got the name... so it would really help if you can try typing out the name on your toolbar to see if the name is taken already or not (with .com extension). Some domain companies block the address eventhough it is not a functioning site. They sell it at high prices, and I can't afford it. I am going for .com most likely as its the most easy to remember.
Please give your inputs here or email me at maknenek@gmail.com. I would really like to offer a prize for the best name, but I can't afford it..but I'm sure Allah has the best rewards. May Allah reward you for your sincere effort.
Note : This is a non-profit site, and inshaallah will be self-operating, sisters/brothers can submit entries of personal experiences with hejab, poems, questions and inshallah, these entries will be put up immediately after approval from editors. Meanwhile, if you already have a story/poem/question to share, do email to maknenek@gmail.com.

Salams Sis Ruby,
Huda frm Sheffield here...just thought of something but don't know if it's taken yet:
InnerJourney - it is a journey from non-hijab living to hijab living and it definitely does not just involve the 'outer'/physical aspects of a muslimah so that's why I've put the word inner in front.
salam huda...sounds good innerjourney..ill keep it in mind :) im still keeping my options open.. i think i'll know when it struck..but do keep the ideas coming.and thanks for visiting the blog

I'm a stanger dropping by to say hi. i hope it's ok to menyibuk :)
I think the website should have something with the word hijab or muslim or Islam to it.
So if someone googled those words, hopefully the site will come up easily.
