Sticky for Choosing a Name?

Would it make sense to have in this group (Because "Before You Found a New Sorority" is here) a sticky thread on "Choosing a name for your GLO?" Points might be (expanded to full points):

Positive: Look it up in Baird's Manual, google it, check the US Patent and Trademark Office.

Negative: Don't use a name of a major fraternity or sorority in a well known movie/TV such as Animal House, Revenge of the Nerds, School Daze or Greek. Having the same name as one of the *minor* background fraternities in one of these groups isn't a problem.

Don't have the greek letters be equivalent to roman letters that spell out a word(Beta Alpha Tau, or worse, Tau Iota Tau).

Any more ideas about whether we should make it a sticky or added entries in this list?
