Organizing a Quiz 1: Finding a Name

While there are many astronomy quizzes, only few will stand out. One simple difference lies in the name itself. When you have a lot of  generic 'astronomy quizzes' it's difficult to identify your one against the many others.
When I was involved in designing the astronomy quiz in Anandian Astronomical Association, we wanted to differ from others. There were quite a few astronomy quizzes but we got permission to get the Sir Arthur C Clarke's name, simply because we thought differently. Many would have thought it might get rejected, but no one has tried.

So if you are planning an astronomy quiz, and hope to continue it for years to come. Think of a nice name. It need not be a person's name. Be creative! Experiment with words and once you found a good one, stick with it.
