What's in a name?

One thing that definitely gets me going, other than cute packaging, is a good name. A good name that sticks, makes me laugh or just fits like a glove. WetnWild may not be the greatest of them all as all it makes me think of is barely legal girls entering Wet t-shirt contests where all they get is the attention of middle aged men.

However, the polish I got in the WetnWild giveaway, a polish I'm not certain is even available in Sweden yet (please correct me if I am wrong) is a shade called Morbid. I don't get why a color like that could be considered morbid but I do think it has a color that Morbid Angel would approve of.
I've seen it described as black with a teal shimmer but I'd rather say dark grey with a forrestgreen shimmer.
I guess it depends on the light and when I took my photo, it was 91 degress Fahrenheit and sunnier than a Beatles' song from the late 60's.

I think a polish named Morbid would and should be corpse-colored. Not the real color, which is yellowish, but like in the movies, a cool blue jelly with red undertones. I've been trying to franken a color like that for ages. The WetnWild polish is a great color, but it isn't morbid to me.
