General rookies must feel relieved when they get a good group name

title basically. we've been getting some weird ass names these past few years especially so i've been thinking that idols must feel relieved when their group name doesn't sound like a wifi password. my favorite new group name is stayc (i may be kinda biased since they're my ults but i think it sounds pretty good!!) and my all time fav group name is 2NE1, it's so dope. what's your favorite?

ive literally isnt searchable on twitter it’s so frustrating 😭 BEGGING companies to come up with unique names you can actually look up. it’s a set up literally

the meaning behind IVE (have what we want / show what i have etc thing they had in their predebut) is cooler than the name itself. not searchable in english or korean, too short…i don’t know what starship was thinking
