Nancy at Fritinancy (We Have A Winner!) has just ended a game where you must suggest a magazine name using only a first name, followed by a brief tag line that would describe the mag's purpose. You can find a list of the winners here along with a more comprehensive summary of the rules.
Take a glance and see if you can do better than those already offered.
