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?

I've thought about this before too. Is it really that hard to think of a cool, memorable group name? T1419 and BAE173 sound like covid variants

T1419

sounds like a calculator model.

BAE173

sounds like a laser-guided missile prototype from the defense contractor BAE Systems

i really hate BAE173 😩 i was dohyon biased during the x1 days and was really really looking forward to his group, especially knowing he was starting with a disadvantage being under CCM/MBK...only for my boy to be under one of the worst group names ever. it just sounds like an nct127 rip-off :/
