I totally agree with the 70s name choices - my chapter used to have terribly dated family names, but they were recently changed to names tied to our organization, to prevent this from happening in the future. All of our family names are now one of my organizations symbols, part of our crest, etc. I like it a lot better than being named 'The Goonies Family' or something, just because someone liked that movie.
