Apparently, I'm the only one who thinks the name "Naptown Argus" as a Indianapolis newspaper is laugh-out-loud funny. Hmmm. Too much Greek Mythology as a child, not enough playing outside. Anyway, for a brain-storming session on a name for a new local Indianapolis paper, these were some of our ideas:
Advance
Appeal
Argus
Banner
Beacon
Breeze
Bugle
Bulletin
Camera
Chronicle
Citizen
City Press
Courier
Current
Daily Mail
Dispatch
Eagle
Enterprise
Exponent
Express
Free Press
Gazette
Globe
Guide
Herald
Intelligencer
Leader
Ledger
Life
Messenger
Monitor
Observer
Picayune
Pioneer
Planet
Post
Reflector
Repository
Review
Sentinel
Sentry
Statesman
Sun
Telegraph
Tribune
Union
World
You should add 'Weekly' and 'Times'. Just a suggestion.
smiths falls citizen
When I was making the list, I intended to focus on unusual newspaper names, which is why I left of weekly, daily, times, news, etc. I also left out a common one - Star - because we were tossing around the names for a new Indianapolis paper, and we already have an Indy Star. We eventually settled on IndyScribe.
thank you this was helpful with a project i did
A great list!
How about "Guardian" (as in Manchester)
dispatch
add bumble bee......
thanx, this was rly helpful!!!
How come you don't have one that starts with a 'V'? haha That's the only letter i need.
You might want to add The Derrick to your list. It is a newspaper from Oil City, PA.
Hmmm, can anybody come up with one that starts with X, Y or Z?
Ps. This is a really cool list of newspaper names, its really helpful!
How funny, Steph. I searched for "newspaper names" on Google and clicked the first entry without really looking. It brought me to your site - as if I don't spend enough time floating around here the way it is! *grins*
I like how so many of them have some sort of "watch dog" connotation. Argus is one of those, but also Sentinel, Observer, Monitor.
My brothers used to deliver the "Canton Repository" when we were kids. I still have one of their paper delivery bags from that paper.
Add republic, inquirer, journal, and today
Carlisle (MA) Mosquito
and for the audacious...
the juggernaut
you should put the meteor and the universe
Daily Home
fredericksburg standard-radio post (a small central texas weekly)
Thank you for doing this. Tucson, Arizona has a paper called the Arizona Daily Star and San Francisco has the Examiner.
I was looking for a Y too. To name my classroom newsletter since my last name is Yonge. I decided to go with Tribune because it has the y sound in it.
For X maybe exchange or one of the other listed ex names and for z, well, I think Gazette is all I can think of.
What about the "Oracle"?
highland humbug?

Cecil County, Maryland offers readers the "Cecil County Whig," while the "Quincy Herald-Whig" lives on in Quincy, Ill.
They are only apparently remaining Whigs left in America, although there's a Kingston, Canada "Kingston Whig Standard."
