If it was just you and Jackson as a team, then I'd suggest "Spic and Span" because:
quote:
A slur derived from "spic" is "spic and span" (first used in the African-American community in the 1950s) meaning a mixed Puerto Rican and African-American couple.
See here.
I don't think we have the cleaning product here, but "spic
k and span" is understood as "neat" or "clean". I doubt if your acts are particularly clean, but the American "neat", sort of meaning "cool", is well understood. It might arouse curiosity because of the missing "k", so it gives you a "why we call ourselves this" story to tell.
Forrest Shaw could capitalize on his first name, which kind of sounds American to us. What kind of folks would call a kid "Forrest"?
He must have interesting roots, but he sounds like a bit of a
stick in the mud.*
"Stick, Spic and Span"?
*(I didn't know it had seven meanings)!
