Help a Stumped Fic Writer Out?

So I'm writing what's turning out to be a fairly lengthy angsty romcom-style Guardian story (there are a couple of excerpts here, here, and here), and one of the plot points involves the Dragon University students having a shipping forum dedicated to their Professor and the mysterious hot cop who suddenly started showing up all over the place.

My problem is that I have no idea what the forum should be called. Does anyone have a good idea for what a bunch of overinvested University students might title such a thing? It's a real-world kind of AU (no Dixing/Haixing, no powers), if that helps any.

Thanks for anything you can come up with! I'm writing around it for the moment but leaving that kind of detail blank really starts to bug my writer's brain, you know what I mean?

I'm terrible at naming things, but you could always use their smush name!

Also, you could have Dixing/Haixing be the towns they each come from or sports teams they are each devoted to rather than realms, and create a name out of that.

Another option is to do something with their professions, like a pun on cops and profs or a combo of objects relevant to each profession, like "Booking" (which could apply to both) or Chalk & Cuffs (terrible but you get the idea).

Good luck! Sounds fun :)

Professorship? ;-)

I will try to think more on this!
