Once upon a time two tweeters met on twitter. They talked they laughed and they got to know each other better. They also had blogs. Each their own and they were proud of those blogs. Then one day one blog went down and the other was sitting silently with no update. The down blog was about to be reborn but a skype session happened and two people had the same idea:
We will have one blog together.
One of the first things that needed to be done was to find a name for it that worked for both of us. It needed to be cool and show who we are… and it should not be to long.
What followed was an international skype brainstorming session over many days. It showed so many directions that the outcome was for both of us a surprise
But see for yourself:
Skype Session:
barryck: am on a badass brainstorming now..I was thinking about something else…wait… are you ready to conquer the world with me?
Mirijam: haha … sure …. wanted to ask you something but you first..
barryck: we’ll make a crew.
Mirijam: loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
barryck: now ask me something ha!
Mirijam: yeeeeeeeeeees! Yesterday I was thinking the same thing
barryck: 
Mirijam: I looked at your blog and thought you could reinvent it together with me
And this short convo led to the big brainstorming session for the name…
barryck: I will submit to you some categories names.. social media – Charity – laughs corner – Tech – Guest Posts – daily category featured
Mirijam: life’s fruits
barryck: social media – Charity – laughs corner – Tech – Guest post – daily – life’s fruits – Reviews
Mirijam: Mirijam Rosenast – glitterglitzer
barryck: Barryck Rifki – BarryckR
barryck: #funpostseries
Mirijam: bowl, fruits, bar, glitter bar, twitter litter
barryck: www.glitterbar.com
Mirijam: glitterbar bowl
Mirijam: Switzerland, Dijbouti
barryck: mixedfruits.com ?
Mirijam: http://mixedfruitsbowl.com/
barryck: let’s do it baby
But as things go, that was wayyyyy too fast and easy right? LOL… so on it goes…
Mirijam: fruitandmixednuts.com (@SuuperG came up with it)
Mirijam: and hear me out on it….
Mirijam: don’t say no yet!
Mirijam: the fruits of our work
Mirijam: and the mixed nuts are all the ppl who will guest post
barryck: :) am in

barryck: barryck.tanmanssi.com
barryck: certified twittaholic, now what?!
barryck: funny, very professional
barryck: nut!
barryck: barryck.com
So we chose a name right…. ? Right?…
barryck: we need to talk about: 1st posts promotion (we are totally ok with the domain name yeah?)
Mirijam: yeah
But then again… There is always something that does not click…
barryck: basket
Mirijam: corner
barryck: ??
Mirijam: brainstorming
Mirijam: LOL
barryck: looool
barryck: delirium, delire in french
barryck: (sigh)
Mirijam: Yeah what? sigh?
barryck: I heard you sigh
Mirijam: you are in a delirium?
barryck: what about our twitter name?
Mirijam: ;-p
barryck: same as the blog?
Mirijam: OK what else? nutsblog
Mirijam: fruitandnutblog is available
What could possibly go wrong? –> The name was to long to be a twitter handle…. So off we go again… LOL
barryck: two of us, team, conquering together
Mirijam: renegade

Little brothers gave some inputs… But they were battled off…

barryck: fun = fun having fun writing, arena= soldiers, maybe a dance stage, etc..
Mirijam: Ballabile
