What’s in a Name?

Most of my readers know of Rob Carrick, a personal finance columnist at the Globe and Mail. He does an excellent job of cutting to the important parts of just about any financial story that affects your wallet. He also has a blog consisting of his picks of the best articles related to personal finance.

The Globe and Mail ran a contest to rename Carrick’s blog. The winning name was Carrick on Money. I must say that this name sounds great to me. However, I have a nagging feeling that it seems familiar. Can anyone help me figure out why it feels like I’ve heard it before?

Kidding aside, I hope Carrick continues delivering solid information to help us all run our financial lives well.

  6. Maybe you should write a polite cease and desist letter to the Globe and Mail since they've stolen your trademark!

  7. There is also Jill Schlesinger, a personal finance blogger/radio personality/podcaster in the States that goes by "Jill on Money."

    You should check her out. I think you would like her even though she obviously stole your name.

  8. Maybe Rob's column should have been "I'm not Michael James on Money"?

    That will teach you for no trademark...
