What's in a NAME?

In preparation for my official lab website, I have to come up with a name. And no offense to my husband - Adams Lab isn't currently cutting it - too generic.

I am unfortunately NOT gifted with the ability to make catchy acronyms for projects, etc. Here are some possible words that could go in the lab name:

Larvae/Larval
Ecology
Molecular Ecology
Evolution
Dispersal
Development
Adaptation
Marine
Ocean
Lab
Adams

PLEASE help me come up with something cleaver! Put your suggestions in the comments.
Thanks for your help!

    What are you going to do/study in this lab? All the stuff up above? Have you thought of trying to create a pronounceable acronym of the various elements you listed?

      That's the idea! Any acronyms come to mind?

      Admittedly not inspired, but 2 ideas:
      MaLDEEL: Marine Larval Dispersion, Evolution, and Ecology Lab

      OLDEEL: Oceanographic Larval Dispersion, Evolution, and Ecology Lab

      I tried to make Larvae or Mussel work, but no go. Or some other ocean thing.

    My suggestion might be something like:

    Diane’s Adaptive Development Sea LAB

    DADs Lab

    Might be too corny---it just came quickly to my mind when I read your call for suggestions.
