My two cents:

It highlights the main problem - it sounds like a business name, like we're
selling the blocks or something. Which we're not.
I really, really DON'T like OzStudz and will fight tooth and nail to oppose
any namez suggested which pluralise using 'z'. Hey, if you want adults to
cringe at our organisation that's the way to do it. The only normal/mundane
people who like 'z' plurals are advertising execs who want to sell "thingz"
to teenagers. And, as we all know, teenagers don't play with Lego. ;-)
In the absence of a name we all like a lot, I don't mind AusLUG. Even
better, OzLUG - let's face it, this way less Yanks will think it's an
Austrian Lego users group. ~~~~~~~J
