What's in the name?

Welcome to my new blog, which will hopefully do many different things. At the moment, I'm contemplating my diet and have decided to try eating meat again and make myself a human test subject. I'll do it gradually and report on my overall health. As my followers grow, I will try and get others (and myself) to include articles about overall health and diet. Hopefully, this will lead to a healthy (no pun intended) debate and exchange of ideas. The end result of this 'diet' project will be to figure out the healthiest diet for me and then move on to other projects and reflections about life and general irreverence. (And hopefully art!)

But before I get into the diet stuff, I need to settle on a name. Well the name, is pretty much settled. But I'm wondering if I should punctuate it the way I have. I want the name, "The Irfantastic! Blog!" to roll off the tongue quickly, but my inclusion of the exclamation point after irfantastic might imply a pause. Like "The Irfantastic! (beat) Blog!" That is not my intention. If that is how you would prefer to read it then great, but again, I would like the name to roll off of the tongue quickly. Thoughts? Should I drop the first exclamation point and call it "The Irfantastic Blog!" Does it matter? Am I overthinking it?

And I'm still open to name suggestions if something better comes along.

Soooo I love the name. But when I first read it, I definitely paused. And then I wished you hadn't placed an exclamation point there. It's a speed bump in an otherwise exciting title.
