Nos postulo magis Latin Nomen?
Ex Mea Sententia just kindly left a comment in the post below and it reminded of something that I've been worried about for quite a while now. Is the Blawgosphere running out of Latin phrases for blawg names?
Here are the Latin-named blawgs from my blawgroll (there are many more, I'm just too lazy to update the 'roll) and their approximate translations:
Ex Mea Sententia = Of My Opinion [Sentiment, Thought]
Crescat Sententia = To Grow [Increase, Expand] Thought [Opinion, Sentiment]
De Novo = New; A Second Time
Inter Alia = Among Other Things
Soupie's BBQ and Daycare = Tits and Ass
Quasi in R.E.M. = As If Upon the Thing (the legal meaning is too long to type) or Almost Sleeping or Like a seminal alt-rock band from Athens, GA.
Slithery D = The Cock Master
Of course there are many more and I believe Evan has proposed new Latin-named blawgs on occasion. Paging through my little legal dictionary suggests that legal latin will remain a fertile ground for law-related weblogs for years to come. Might I suggest one for the next would-be blawger who is only be held back by the lack of a name: Injuria Absque Damno (Insult without Damage).

Thanks for the clarification. I knew that first word had alternate translations but I couldn't find them in my Latin-English dictionary.
