I’m about to reserve two domain names, one for a work blog (encouraged by my Dean to do so) and the other a personal blog. Here are the names I’m considering:

for work- I’m a librarian and an ancient history enthusiast. The Serapeum was the temple complex of which the Library of Alexandria was originally a part. [serapeum.com](http://serapeum.com) is not available, but I’m thinking of one of these (which as of this writing are all available):

[new-serapeum.com](http://new-serapeum.com)  
[serapeum-two.com](http://serapeum-two.com)  
[serapeumblog.com](http://serapeumblog.com)  
For the personal I’m considering the following:

theduckandcovertavern.com- from the [Cold War advice](http://www.signalalpha.com/DuckAndCover_Bert_the_Turtle_6k.jpg) to “duck and cover”, but I like the graphic potentials (a duck and a cloak, or a duck and a house, etc., on an English pub sign)

[constantinoplestreet.com](http://constantinoplestreet.com) (or [constantinople-street.com](http://constantinople-street.com)), from the address of my [favorite fictional character](http://www.catalog-of-cool.com/dunces.jpg) , and it also has a Byzantine imagery (and I could hide the secret portions under [constantinoplestreet.com/procopius](http://constantinoplestreet.com/procopius)

circlebrunetto.com- after the circle in hell continually power-walked by the old professor Brunetto the Sodomite in Dante’s Seventh Circle (Brunetto is actually perhaps the most likeable, certainly the most sympathetic, character in hell- thanks Dante)

Which ones do you like, please?

Could somebody please ask the mods to close or delete this? It’s a duplicate I submitted when my computer timed out and I didn’t realize the first had uploaded.  
Thanks
