What's In a Name

If you're anything like me, you come across blogs where it leaves you wondering about how/why they chose the name that they did. It's always in the back of my mind until I figure out the reason why. So today, I thought I would break down the meaning and reason as to why I chose the name southern babble. Let's take it from the top with southern. I am from the South, have always lived in the South, and people tend to tell me I have a case of the "southern drawl", so why wouldn't I go with it? Finding the other half to the name was kind of difficult, reason being nothing really seemed to fit me and/or fit the reason why I wanted to start blogging in the first place. I got to thinking of what words describe me, what do I love to do..which led me to the word, babble. I. love. to. talk. all. the. time. So what exactly does babble mean? Well, I am here to tell you that the true textbook definition of babble is "someone who talks rapidly and continuously in an excited or comprehensible way". Making the word babble fit me to a capital T. So the overall meaning of Southern babble is basically a southern individual who loves to talk even when they're the only one listening, and if that doesn't describe me then I don't know what does! And that my friends is how I came up with southern babble.
