This is a photo of me brainstorming this morning.

I woke up this morning and decided that I needed a domain name to call my own. It’s been hard writing and talking about an idea with no name. No more!

An hour on GoDaddy, and $10.19 later, I am the proud owner of Vverdant.com, which reminds me of that famous Judy Garland-ism, “There’s no place like home.”

That’s “Vverdant” with two “V’s” people. An invention all my own. You won’t find that spelling in the dictionary, but “verdant” is defined by Webster’s as follows:

Ver’dant\, a. [F. verdoyant, p. pr. of verdoyer to be verdant, to grow green, OF. verdoier, verdeier, fr. verd, vert, green, fr. L. viridis green, fr. virere to be green: cf. OF. verdant verdant, L. viridans, p. pr. of viridare to make green. Cf. Farthingale, Verjuice, Vert.]

1. Covered with growing plants or grass; green; fresh; flourishing; as, verdant fields; a verdant lawn. “Let the earth Put forth the verdant grass.” –Milton.

Get it? Vverdant is a website where green building ideas will flourish! ….In the mind of this entrepreneur anyway.

I hope the name does everything I need it to — sum up my idea, stick in people’s minds, and sound fresh. After a couple weeks brainstorming (and checking domain availability), this is the best I can come up with for now. Leave a comment to let me know what you think!
