There are quite a bunch of bloggers these days who try to earn money with blogging about how they earn money with blogging about how they earn money with blogging about… and so on. It is a pitty that most of them don`t really manage to develop a big creativity concerning their domain-names as well as their main topics.

But within those sea of money-bloggers one has right at the first moment caught my attention. How? Was it the design of his page? No. Was it the content? Not really. So what was it? Answer: The name. Because his name is “Desi Baba” and in Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian language (subjects of my studies) this can be understood as “Gde si ti, Baba?” This can be translated as something like “Where are you, Granny?” which could be used in the context of “How are you, Granny?”

But I have been as well a little naive as I was thinking how his name in Indian for sure has a totaly great and philosophic meaning like “Flower in the sunset”, “Bird flying over meadows” or “Trust and Confidence”. As it is mostly in German that first names have a more sensitive meaning (often taken from the bible) while last names refer to places people`s ancestors have come from or their professions.

Ok, but back to “Desi Baba”. All my estimations about the background of his name in the end seemed a little absurd to myself when I read the “About me” area of his blog. There is to be read that “Desi” who currently studies in the States has family roots to Bangladesh and his real name is Azmi. “Desi Baba” is just his fun-nickname and the meaning in the Indian languages is nothing different than “pimp daddy”.

By the way, Everyone who is interested in “Blogging, Technology and Making Money in the Internet” should really take a look at “Blogging with Desi Baba”.
