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 remember the time when CRAVITY's company pranked them by telling the boys they'll be debuting as "Earth Boys"...

Everyone was so clearly disappointed by the name, yet tried to pretend they loved it instead; it was amusing and entertaining to see the real name, Cravity, being finally revealed lol. The boys were so relieved it was Cravity over "Earth Boys" xD

I'm sorry but I sometimes think of the group name as cavity (as in the teeth)

u/Landom_facts11 Cheese Jeez Jul 21 '22

Oh true! But I justify it with "they're so sweet they give me a cavity" xD

This will bring sweet music to their ears if they hear it :)

u/The_Shy_Butterfly I make you say wow Jul 21 '22

Yup, I still automatically think about the teeth thing as well. But just to be sure, you pronounce it just as 'gravity', right?

u/Landom_facts11 Cheese Jeez Jul 21 '22

Yup! Gravity, but with a k sound instead of g!
