Pick a name you all like. You may be obsessed with the idea of referring to your friend group as the Hex Girls (from Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost), but if someone else in the group hasn't seen that movie, they probably won't vibe with that name. Pick a name you can all relate to and feel connected with.
