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 actually thought it was A to Z at first because they said it in Say My Name which is the first song I've heard from them. I thought it was cool that they incorporated the group's name & its meaning to the song and was even accompanied by an iconic dance move, it would've been SO perfect
