Steve,
Have you considered the six names of the Brady Bunch children? As
you acquire your instruments, you can name them after each of the Brady's
in consecutive order, as follows...
1 Greg
2 Marsha
3 Peter
4 Jan
5 Bobby
6 Cindy
Should you then find yourself in the market for yet another
instrument, you can resort to the names of the lesser-known characters,
Alice, Tiger, and Sam the Butcher. And finally, no list of Brady characters
would be complete without the name of the nerdy adopted child of the later
episodes, Oliver.
