Good Names For Christian A Cappella Groups

I’m thinking of starting a Christian a cappella group at my church.  I have sung in, directed, and formed many other a cappella groups in the past, and I miss it.  At a recent music meeting at the church, we were talking about doing new arrangements of old hymns, and I brought up the idea of doing a modern a cappella style group that could incorporate traditional hymn tunes and modern musical styles.

The more I’ve thought about this idea, the more I like it.  A mixed group of approximately six voices that could sing maybe once a month in church.  Low commitment to start, awesome results.  But as you all know, the most important part of starting any sort of musical group is coming up with an awesome name for it.  A cappella groups, if they are any good at all, must have some sort of horrible pun in their name, such as “The Tone Rangers” or “Rockapella.”  The problem I have found, is that when forming a Christian group, one doesn’t want to get too sacrilegious, or one risks alienating one’s key demographic.  So I need some suggestions.  Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:

Hymnasium

Hymns and Hers

The 6 Commandments

G-flat Christ (no, wait, that is too sacrilegious.  See?!)

The Beat Attitudes

The Sermonators

Psalmthing Good

Choir We Even Here

Hymnastics

The Amazing Gracenotes

Deuterockin’ Me

The Bible Belters

A Choired Taste

The Acappostles

Baptism By Choir

Okay, that’s what I’ve got so far.  What do you think?  Do you have better ideas?  Which ones are your favorites?  Once the name is picked out, I can, you know, arrange some music, find some people to be in the group, rehearse, and all that other important stuff, but I can’t do anything until I know what terrible thing we will be called!
