The problem with associating yourself with a cliché is that you take on
those attributes.
I don't now, but I lived in CA for 6 years or so. The rest of the country
looks at CA, when it comes to "new-age, enlightenment", as a cliché, and not
complimentary at that (the land of fruits and nuts). Associating yourself to
that will cause you to be viewed the same way.

Subject: New Age Doc Group Names
We are trying to rename our tech pubs group to align fully with our new
mission as user-oriented rather than engineering/developer-oriented writers
and trainers. I suggested the following:
Department for User Enlightenment and Training - DUET
Would anyone else like to try their hand at inventing a clever, new-age
sounding name (we're in California) based on this user-oriented focus?
Would love to hear other ideas. Thanks.
