Hi y’all! So having moved around a lot in life, I found the best thing that happened was the day I found an amazing social group on [meetup.com](http://meetup.com). So, having moved yet again and found it hard to meet people my age in the area over the past year and a half, I have started my own social group for those new-in-towners as well as people who have lived in the area a while who just want some new faces around! I have 92 members already in such a short time and really think I need an awesome name before it gets any bigger! The group is a 20s/30s social group that accepts all walks of life and do pretty much anything people have interest in. So, no specific topic or anything, just a 20s/30s social group. Looking for something humorous and GREAT 🙂 Suggestions would be much appreciated! …aaaaaaaaaand GO! ---

The Dilettantes It’s kind of derogatory, but it would appeal to me as a meetup group name. It would likely attract people who like to laugh at themselves a little. A dilettante is a dabbler, someone who likes to try new things, but never sticks with them long enough to gain expertise. The joke applies to each of the things you mentioned. New in town? You dabble in places to live. Looking for new faces? You dabble in friends. Open to any activity that seems interesting? Dabbler in experiences. None of this may actually be true, but so what? I’d also favor an amusingly grandiose name like the above-mentioned “The American Society Of Unspecified Activities And Interests.” I would shy away from a group with a cutesy or punny name. ---
