The fun has already begin.
Some choice quotes from http://themiddleground.sg/2015/12/30/7-things-eu-no-eunoia-ya/:

Q: What should we call Eunoia JC students?
Because “Eunoians” is too obvious.
Avoiding the problem – EJCians
To prevent teenage sex – Eunuchs
Easy to distinguish each batch – First year – Jeunoias, Second year – Senoias.
Cuter – Eunoinois

Q: What should Eunoia JC’s school song be?
Flo Rida – Club Can’t Handle Me ft. David Guetta
Eunoia Know how/To make them stop and stare as I zone out/The club can’t even handle me right now

Madison Avenue – Don’t Call Me Baby
Don’t call me baby/You got some nerve, and baby that’ll never do/Eunoia don’t belong to you

Lady Gaga – Bad Romance
Eunoia want you/Eunoia need you/I want it bad, bad romance

Nothing wrong. I liked the Innova name for the same reasons as you.

It is unfortunate that the author felt the need to heap on other JCs just because he was peeved because his alma mata is going to be associated with a pee-sounding name.

\"The name was chosen after several months of interaction with students and staff from the three schools, and their management committees, said Madam Chea g, adding that it had sieved through at least 200 suggestions.\"

Maybe what we need is more transparency and democracy? Students to vote online?

After voting and deliberating, the new JC will most likely be renamed to Eunoia JC from Eunoia JC (p.s. newnation.sg already coining it as 1 Sin Ming JC).

Recent trend suggest we are not very good at crowd sourcing for names. We have renamed Marina Bay to Marina Bay, chosen Budget Terminal as the name of the budget terminal, and decided on 1 Sengkang Mall as the name of the mall in Sengkang (formerly Compass Point).

True :sad: So lack of creativity...

But... but... isn't Eunoia the outcome of a great burst of creativity? :idea:

Can't associate Eunoia (realised it's difficult to type with too many vowels) with any of the 3 schools which are filled with history, tradition, affiliation and alumni. It just lack the connection.

Got what. Mr Brown already said it connects quite well with the Kim Geks of SCGS. I second that opinion.

However, a handful of the students (maybe incl some geppers from CHS) from the 3 feeder schools could have done well enough to go to more established (and with better sounding name) JCs like National, Victoria or Raffles. So why would they want to associate with a pee-sounding name?
