Paranormal Investigations... needs a name.

[Jewel Thief]

Hi! I haven't been on for a long time but still been reading the webcomic (gack! the 31st is so far away...)

My friends and I started our own paranormal investigations team but we need to come up with a name. Buffy had the Scoobies and Mulder had his X-Files duo thingy with Scully. Then there's the pretty blunt and boring Ghost Hunters. We want our own unique moniker. I figured you guys would come up with some sweet stuff. Names please!

- Thief

[Anuan]

Ghost Busters. I don't think that's taken yet.

...Oh, wait. Um.

Nightwatch?
The Silver Bullets/Stakes/Crosses?

...I seem to only be able to come up with names that sound like silver-age comic book superhero groups at the moment...

[Mordokai]

Ghostfacers! Cookie for reference.

I just hope you're not as incompetent as those guys

[Nevitan]

Ghostfacers! We face the ghosts when the others will not! Ghostfacers!

[Ichneumon]

What are you going to investigate precisely?

[Comet]

The Cult.
Curious Hearts.
Vampire Hunter Unit X.

[Serpentine]

The Parapsychologists!

So what's the deal with this thingy? We can has details?

[Jack Squat]

Then there's the pretty blunt and boring Ghost Hunters.

Just to point out, they're actually called TAPS for Trans-Atlantic Paranormal Society, which is a bit cooler considering when taps is played.

Point I was trying to make is that you could do an acronym. There's a group around here called SPIRIT for Southern Paranormal Identification, Research, & Investigation Team.

Maybe you could be Southern California Anomaly Research & Exploration (SCARE) or something similar.

[Coidzor]

I second the Acronymosity motion.

Also, the Serpentine one.

Supernatural! *loud squee*

"Ed! You gotta go be gay for that poor dead intern!"

[Jewel Thief]

Basically there's five of us and we want to "investigate" local haunts from Los Angeles to San Diego (and all that beautiful mileage in between). We're working on a website too. I like SCARE, heehee. Anyway, I'm kind of the outsider on this because I'm the only skeptic on ghosts and other supernatural entities (totally the "Sculley"). However, none of us believe in vampires, werewolves, zombies, that sorta thing, but we'd still investigate them. We thought we could maybe teach pretend courses on how to defend yourself from a werewolf attack, etc, like as a youtube segment. We've got all these rando ideas... But as for names, uh... they're pretty dumb. The Princess Brides? Blah...

paranormal investigators inc.

you're trying to be taken seriously, use a realistic, business-like name.

[Player_Zero]

Crazy ramblings of the delusional?

[Zanaril]

Crazy ramblings of the delusional?

Crazy Ramblings of the Unbelievably Delusional.

[Coidzor]

The Princess Brides? lolwut?

Aim for the brain stem.

Hmm, hard to say what would defend against werewolves without silver weaponry and...the ability to not get nommed on before bringing said weaponry to bear.

Vampires... depends on the flavor, really. Vampire flavor of the week, even...

[Flickerdart]

Nightwatch?

Already taken.

[Mad Mask]

Crazy Ramblings of the Unbelievably Delusional.

What about PHANTOMS ?

It stands for Phony Haunting And Totally Obvious Make-believe Searchers.

[Cristo Meyers]

Already taken.

Was starting to think I was the only one here that knew that book/movie existed...

[Coidzor]

What's the word for the philia involving ghosts? Something tells me this might be useful to know for the acronymia.

Probably poor suggestions since I just finished work, but how about:

Spectral Branch?
Paranormal Eye (P-Eye)?
Ghostshoes?
The PHEDS (Poltergeist, Hauntings and Ethereal Detectives)?

[Coidzor]

Hmm... DOOM... Detectives of Outrageous and Otherwordly Machinations.
