A Club by any other name would smell as sweet?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #44 of 198 |
Hello again.
Less waffly email this time.
Starting now.

The Club needs a name.
Make suggestions.
We already have a few;
* Guild of Geelong Geeks (GoGG) or Geelong Geek Guild (GGG) and other
variants.
* Scion, or Sci-on
* Geelong Geeks
* Geelong Science Fiction Club
* Sci-Fi Nerds, Geeks, Dorks
* Moya's Crew
* Jedi Knights
* Alien Technologies

Personally I'm not keen on Geelong Science Fiction Club - as it can be
shortened to GSFC - which is too similar to GFC. But that's just me :-)

I like the idea of Beta, but Victoria sounds a bit Victorian, no pun intended. I also liked Sci-On ( my apologies to who suggested it I can't remember who) But...
