It's a simple enough question. People hear you have a new show and they ask you, all friendly-like, "So, what's the name?"
"Uh, name?"
"Yeah, the name. What's the name of your new show?"
"Oh, right. The name...the name...."

Enough secrets! Enough lies! We don't have a name yet.

There, I've said it. It's out. I feel so much better... relieved, really. I don't have to hide anymore. We don't have a name yet. We really want one. Just a little name. A name all our own. Is that too much to ask?

It's not like we haven't been trying. We have. But we haven't been able to come up with one that satisfies us, and perhaps more important, our legal department (it can't already belong to another radio show, for example). A group of us is having a meeting on Monday, when Marie and I return from Los Angeles, to brainstorm some more.

But then the obvious thought occurred. Why not ask you?

This is not really a contest because there is no prize -- but you can best believe that if we pick your name I will take you out to dinner if you get yourself to Washington. And we'll put your picture on the Web site. Fair enough?

I'm not going to bore you with all the ideas we've tossed around. Start fresh. Put your thinking cap on. Help us out. The name we pick might be your own.

Update: We now have official rules for our show-naming contest -- yes, contest.
