In all seriousness, though, I have three main criteria for choosing a
group name:
1) It must not contain the word "Lego". Otherwise, we're just opening
ourselves up to getting a letter from TLG's lawyers; they've
demonstrated their interest in preserving their trademark in the past.
'Nuff said.
2) If we're trying to include the area shown on Eric's maps - that is,
all of southern Ontario, we ought not to use "Toronto" in the name or
acronym. It's not really being considerate to people in London or
Ottawa, right? And one thing I like about RTL / LUGNET, is that people
are usually considerate.
3) It's gotta sound/look nice.
Obviously, we can relax restriction 2 if we want to be a Toronto area
group.
So, of the suggestions so far, 8, 9, 10, 13 are OK for an Ontario group,
and 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 12 seem fine for a Toronto group. I don't mind
making it a Toronto group; and of course we'd welcome folks from all
over, but let's call a Toronto group a Toronto group, and an Ontario
group an Ontario group. :)
