What's in a name? (2)

When I posted "What's in a name?" a few days ago I had entirely forgotten that I was about to have another outing as part of an ad hoc quiz team. The quiz was last Saturday, the team was my wife, a friend of hers, the friend's partner and me. I looked the other way as the inevitable "what should we call ourselves" came up. The two ladies had spent the day in Sainsbury's supervising Girl Guides who were packing people's bags to raise money. My wife (I think) suggested "The Bag Packers" as the team name. Was I the only one who noticed the nuances of the name, with the suggestion of back-packers and carpetbaggers?
