Help me name this alpha & win it!

[Meryl]

I am completing, what I think, is a pretty cool alpha BUT can't think of a good name for it - would you like to help?

I have thought of Men & Boys? Boys and Men – but a bit flat??? Keep in mind I plan on making a coordinating kit, (one with colours, textures and elements particularly for the men and boys) - I know a bit of a back to front way to do but that’s how it has happened!

This was NOT the fastest alpha to make, quite a few processes, but I am loving what I have done! It will be Upper, lower, numerals and extras.

Put them in this thread!
