The Weblog Title

I have been having many people constantly asking me, why I made my weblog encompass the name, "Dark Paladin?" Well the answer to that question is quite easy to explain. First, what is a dark paladin? A dark paladin is a constant doer of good or a peacekeeper behind the shadows of the world. Of course there consist of many different definitions or interpretations for this title. However, I prefer to use this explanation to why I choose this name to represent my own online journal. Why you ask? Because, I am the dark paladin, I hide in the shadows of ordinary people and constantly seek to help anyone I see that needs help. There is no true reason behind why I do such work, you could say it simply just a part of my nature to do good and help those that need help. Nevertheless, that is the complete reason behind the name of my weblog. In addition, the reason to why I associate my weblog with this aspect of myself is to express the viewpoint I seek to use for each of my online entries. This of course is to enlighten people with knowledge and to act through from the shadows of being an ordinary individual.

The Perceptions of Names

A name is the addressed word or words given to simply identify an object, person, place, or concept out from everything else.

For people, they generally have a perception upon the meaning of a name and its value in society or to themselves.

Provided from the site, "doberman pizza", a system is designed to find a person's pokemon off their name and favorite color. To this individual, the meaning behind someone's name can associate with a specific pokemon. For example, the name "Alexander" with the favorite color of red is identified with as a "Footung". In addition, the name “Jerry" along with the favorite color of blue is declared with as a "Pikarina".

The reasons behind the author's usage of terminology for someone's name corresponds as a parody to entertain people with humor and offer a skilled program that does more than randomly associate people with a certain pokemon. "Just a silly parody." " They're actually pseudorandom, which is slightly different than being purely random. Notice that whenever you type in the same name and color combination twice, you get the same results. You should be able to find a description of pseudorandom numbers in an algorithms textbook, or a discrete math textbook."

The obvious factors to this person creating an online program that pseudo-randomizes someone's name and favorite color with that of a pokemon consist that this individual had a lot of free time on his or her hands. Moreover, this individual might have to establish a fundamental system of pseudo-randomizing for a particular class. In addition, this individual obviously likes to amuse him or her self with creating parodies of this anime.


Provided from the site, "Darwin", establishes article to exemplify the issues of what is and makes a good name for a company. "Here are some guidelines and considerations in naming a new company." Within this reference, a business name should have a distinguishing characteristic that alters it from an ordinary designation that makes it memorable, considerably short, and easy to pronounce and build off a story from. "Naming experts often point out that "coined" or made-up words, or alternate spellings, tend to make the best names for that very reason." "It should be unique or memorable." "It should be as short as possible..." "It should be easy to say." "...your name should be one you can build a story around."

The purpose following this composer's article in expressing the guidelines and consideration in making the ideal name for an industry are to insure a company starter or someone new to the corporate world could a head start in making the idyllic label for his or her business. "Sounds crazy, but somehow, branding is everywhere and everybody's doing it." "Everyone's expected to know what it is, how to do it, what it's worth, how to measure one's own..." "Just how does one do it, you ask? Well, for those of you still among the great branding unwashed out there, or those contemplating joining the above-mentioned Hero ranks, here's a primer."

The obvious factors to this individual constructing such an article are to provide information concerning his or her own history about marketing for newcomers. "Graeme Thickins is a 25-year naming and branding veteran. He heads Minneapolis-based GT&A Strategic Marketing, a marketing consultancy he founded at least three tech revolutions ago, in 1982." Moreover, this particular person likes to express certain concerns more than likely from his or her past mistakes. "And when it comes to naming, everyone's a critic."
