Help.
We have 23 people going to the hybrid gathering at the Brewers game in Milwaukee and we get the name of our group put up on the socreboard. The problem is that we do not have a specific name for the group yet. :lol:

Anybody have ideas?

At this point it's a loosely knit group coming together specifically for this event.
The group consists of Insight, Prius, and HCH owners from the Madison, WI, Milwaukee, WI and greater Chicago, IL areas.
I'd like the name to identify that it is a group of hybrid car owners in some way.

Put you thinking caps on and help us put together a good group name/acronym.

I look forward to your creativity.

I know. "The GreenHybrid.com Group" Haha, just kidding. I think the attempted advertising was a BIT too obvious!

Why something creative? I'd say to call yourself the "hybrid automobile group" or something simple so as to get the word out! You could call yourselves "The Green Machines" but no one will know what it's all about

Originally I thought about putting it up as GreenHybrid Group, but I think there was some feedback that perhaps people would not know what the "hybrid" part stood for.
(Aren't tricked out foriegn cars sometimes called hybrids? I know when I do an ebay search for hybrids, sometime I get honda civics with big spoilers and such in the listings.) Also needed some automotive reference.
I like the name Hybrid Auto Group, but I'm not sure I like the acronym HAG.
GreenHybrid Auto Group, maybe? GHAG I kinda like that.

I tried to think of a clever name that had the acronym M.P.G like "Midwest ____ Group". But couldn't come up with a good "p" word to place in the middle.

Minimal Pollution Group
I don't like it, though. Sounds too radical liberal.

The whole acronym think didn't seem to be working out

So, the official name on the scoreboard is going to be....
GreenHybrid.com Auto Group.

Because this site incorporates all hybrid cars (as opposed a specific hybrid car) it seems appropriate.

I think by adding in the word "auto" it will help clarify who we are as well.
