I'm not a fan of having the FC be the same name as the LS for one very simple reason. It's an in-joke.
Linkshell names can be whatever.. but the Free Company name is the outward-facing front of the group. Karma Zameleons makes absolutely no sense without already knowing what Zam is and how it works. Whether stated or not, part of the function of a group like this is to increase the size of its own community, and that's hard when it's not really identifiable.
Initially I had really wanted it to be Karma Zameleons, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it needed to be changed. I just think the FC should have a name that is different from the LS. I think it's ok to have a silly FC name if that's what we wanted, but I think it should be unique. I mean to be fair, no one outside our community is really going to identify with ZAM, Allakhazam, or KAZAM either unless they already know what this site is.
