Well, I don't think that we really need to worry about a name until we actually
manage to get a group together.
BUT, having said that, I would cast a vote for one of the suggestions made by
Bryan Kinkel in the following post:
http://www.lugnet.com/loc/us/nj/?n=24
UMALUG would be the Upper Mid-Atlantic Lego Users Group. It places our
location pretty well, I think. Most of the other LUGs in the US seem to be
named for their region, and I don't think there is any reason to deviate from
that. Unless, of course someone comes up with a really good name like STUDS,
which is one of the user groups in Australia. ( Really nice name people :-).
Also, I think UMALUG is pronounceable, kind of Oooh-maaa-lug. :-)
