Any ideas?Copyrighted old name/Get new blog old blog's position on Google?

[tjdee]

Hey all,
I had a blog where I just posted the regular "oh me oh my" sort of thing. It's about two years old now, and I don't write on it anymore. But, it's on Google's first page-well, LOL, when I search for it.

I'm trying to start a new blog, but I don't want to use the same name because this time I'm going to try to earn a bit of money, and the old name is a play on a copyrighted cartoon character. I want to avoid any trouble... I do like the old name better though. I just don't want to have any trouble, if I do make any money down the line, with Disney/WarnerBros. whoever owns it--and have to change my name anyway.

Should I just keep the old blog? Is there no way to get the new name/blog the same Google "fame" as the old one besides linking to it from the old site? I'm thinking not, but I'm up for suggestions.

1. Change the name of the blog, but keep the URL.

Blogger. com (Google-based) keeps the original URL when you change the name of
your blog.
