Now, for the rest of us, we have to decide on what we are going to ACTUALLY call them. I vote for "MS".

[see you on the 'context wars' thread]

Isn't that the name of the storytellers in the kid's show "Are you afraid of the dark?"

It's also the name of a music group, a paintball league, a summer camp, a group of filmmakers, etc..

Midnight Society is generically generic.

If by "generically generic," you mean "awesome and therefore popular with the cool kids," then yes.
