Ideas for the tag line of Grandparents TLC

September 4, 2008 - 1:59am — Shayne Packer

We have chosen the domain name for our new website for grandparents. GrandparentsTLC.com. It's a  warm sounding name, easy to remember, and about as short as can be. It includes the keyword grandparent in the domain name. 



We are getting the new site up and running very quickly. It is starting out as our blog for showing grandparents ideas to connect with their grandchildren, with a focus on modern technology. The website will grow to encompass most, if not all, of the Website for Grandparents features defined in the Grandparent Project.



So now we need to refine the tag line (like a sub-title) that will go at the top of the website underneath the title "Grandparents TLC". The tag line states the purpose of the site. It should be short and catchy. It must contain the following three words, for which the TLC acronym stands for:

  • Technology or Technologies
  • Love, Loving or Lovingly  (meaning a grandparent's love)
  • Connect, Connection, Connections, or Connecting

Here are a few ideas. (Some are probably too long.)

  • Technology & Love make Connections
  • Technology and Love help make Connections
  • Technology and Love make Connecting to grandchildren easy
  • Technology for a Loving grandparent-grandchild Connection
  • Technology as a tool to show your Love and Connect with your grandchildren
  • Discover Technologies for your Loving Connection with your grandchildren
  • How to use Technology to Lovingly Connect with your grandchildren
  • How Technology and your Love can help you Connect with your grandchildren
  • Useful Technology to add to your Love to Connect with your grandchildren

What are your ideas? Please comment below to help us pick out a tag line. Thanks!

Name ideas for new website

We need to change the domain name of our current blog for grandparents ASAP. We NEED your input.



A large part of our content is focusing now on helping grandparents learn about cool technologies they can use to connect with their grandchildren. We live in a marvelous age of technology. But sometimes it can be intimidating: the internet, email new websites, inventions, cool tools, state-of-the-art, newfangled gadgets, and other technology. That’s why we are creating a new and improved website and blog. We will offer free information and tutorials that show grandparents exactly how to use cool stuff. Grandparents are cool! We don’t want them to be left out while the grandkids are enjoying the 21st century.



We need ideas for a domain name that suggests this concept of grandparents and technology. Here are a few suggestions.

  • GrandSharing
  • GrandparentsTLC (TLC = Technology/Tech Savvy, Love/loving, Connect/Connection/Connecting) 
  • GrandparentingTLC

  • GrandToGrand
  • MyGrandPlace
  • OurGrandPlace
  • TechGrandparents
  • TechSavvyGrandparents
  • TodaysGrandparent
  • ModernGrandparent
  • ConnectedGrandparents
  • GrandparentGuide
  • HowToGrandparentOnline
  • GetStartedGrandparentingOnline
  • Grandparenting 101
  • TheGrandparentingPlace
  • GrandparentBlog
  • DigitalGrandparent
  • DevotedGrandparent
  • LovingGrandparents
  • CoolGandparents
  • GrandparentGadgets

[Note: Red items have been recently added. The color does not imply any preference.]



Please keep in mind that the best domain names are easy to speak, easy to remember, and not too long.

Name ideas needed

My wife and I are currently writing a book on grandparenting. It focuses on technology. What cool technologies are available to grandparents? How can it benefit their relationships with their grandchildren? How can grandparents learn how to use these technologies? The book will specifically discuss each of these questions and more. We will have easy-to-use tutorials that show how to use various technologies.

We also are developing a companion website, discussion forum, blog, podcast, email newsletter, and more -- all for grandparents. These will offer other ideas and tips.

The names for the book and website could be the same or different. What are your ideas for possible names for the book? Should the website have the same name?

Here are some sample ideas:

  • GrandSharing

  • GrandparentsTLC (TLC = Technology/Tech Savvy, Love/loving, Connect/Connection/Connecting)

  • GrandparentingTLC

  • GrandToGrand

  • MyGrandPlace

  • OurGrandPlace

  • TechGrandparents

  • TechSavvyGrandparents

  • TodaysGrandparents

    Please participate by posting a comment (below) with your ideas.

    thanks, Shayne
