I think it fits with the whole dirty/hipster/street photography thing. Will you be updating it daily?

One thing about abstract names... they can get old really fast...

Stillthrill.com I think is getting old on me. I wish I didn't have something so... superlative.
 
I do have another domain name that I am considering.

PHOTOBLOGPHY.com

I will update the poll question

don't like either one...

Agreed. One doesn't sound like it's photography related at all (and possibly quite offensive - are you only photographing panhandlers?)

The second is a jumbled mouthful of broken words.

My advice, and speaking only from my own preferences, is to keep looking.
 
finding a name that relates to street photography is tough.
when i started on the net i wanted something street related but everything that i thought of was already taken...i had a long stretch of shooting alleys (on film that was lost) and thought of back alley...which apparently no one else wanted so i could use it.
 
I would think about something which also describes your approach. If you are interested in a name that works as a marketing tool, perhaps you should study linguistics.
 
Voted none, but if I had to choose: Daily Beggar. Photobloghy looks like a mouthful and sounds like a bad, not clever pun--it's a dated Web 2.0 name.

Daily Beggar actually works if your stuff is grimey and there's a certain hustle to your work (i.e. you begging, not your subjects).

I would rather suggest studying marketing. :)

Seriously, though: unless there is commercial need for the right name, pick whatever makes you happy and says what you want. An unusual name is often a catchy thing that people remember, but too unusual and no one finds you. Be sure you populate the metatags for search engines too.

Neither of the names you've suggested thus far would be my pick, but I am terrible at coming up with good website names.

Difficult one, but personally I think that "Photoblogphy.com" sounds a bit odd. If you want to have a presence on the web, maybe you should pick a name that can be easily read, pronounced and hence remembered by non English speakers as well.
 
Daily Beggar ... Who are you referring to? Yourself or your subjects? Is it a periodical? Sounds like a newspaper ... "The Daily Beggar". Are you concentrating on the subject of begging? Annoyed by the homeless? ...

This name says a lot but it's all ambiguous and can be taken both positively and negatively.

Photblogphy ... No. Just doesn't work.

Suggestion: come up with something catchy then do a search on a domain name registrar ... They usually come up with a long list of alternatives from which you can draw inspiration.

FYI, if you use any of these my consulting fee is $420 or a 21mm Color Skopar.
 
I don't think a website gallery needs a clever name Jorge. Just put good stuff on it and it will be popular.
 
Some ideas I came up in a 5 minute brainstorm:
