What's in a name?

Part of the mystique I am trying to build with the ULC is an atmosphere of fun. Will there be competition? Is this Magic the Gathering? Of course! In the spirit of having fun with it, I am working on names for the collections so it's not just 'box1' or 'collection a' and such. So I brainstormed last night for a while and came up with some names. Here is a list of possibilities:

Rome
'57 Chevy
Letters to Iwo Jima (yes, that's on purpose)
Albatross
Buckminsterfullerene (Bucky Ball for short)
Pumpernickel
Fester
Radiohead
Denim
Thor
Big Hammer
Little Hammer
Sanskrit
Spatula
Purple Haze
Space 1999

Yeah, just fun words. Who knows, maybe the random names on the boxes will inspire deck design. A the least, we can have a contest to see who can best capture the spirit of the name with a deck design. In that case, I think the hammer names, fester, and Thor should be removed - they might be a little too easy. Not to mention Albatross with it's popularly know connotations. But spatula? I really want to see a deck that evokes spatula. Don't you?

Hasta la Titania's Chosen!
