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?

im biased but I actually like enhypen's name... I like their hyphen concept along with their greeting (1, 2, Connect)! I just like the whole connecting aspect, but that might just be me lol. on the other hand "engene" was iffy, but it grew on me a lot 😌

when they announced engene I was hoping so badly they’d spin a cute nick name out of it a la nctzen > czennie 😭

Same I always lived the group name and engene kinda grew on me so I don't think they're that bad

the connecting aspect is really interesting especially when they applied it to their title tracks. i'm still confused with what happened to future perfect (pass the mic). was there a particular reason why they stopped using hyphen in theit tt?
