That's not a problem at all. I firmly believe in airing *all* the 
possible suggestions, even if they're not always stellar.  That's 
because "good" is highly subjective when it comes to things like this.

Edison: "Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent 
perspiration."

Which follows up to a corollary that is often attributed to him: "I 
have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

You'll find the right name for this thing.  The question is: will you 
have to sit down with the 'D' section of the encyclopedia to do it? ;)


PS,
Not to thread-jack, but I found this blurb on Wikipedia, that sounded 
eerily like another stereotype that we're all too familiar with around here:

The day after Edison died the New York Times contained extensive 
coverage of Edison's life, with the only negative opinion coming from 
Tesla who was quoted as saying, "He had no hobby, cared for no sort of 
amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most 
elementary rules of hygiene"
