Soap Opera Magazine Name Ideas

As a group we were struggling to create a name for our soap opera magazine and so I created this mind map with some stimulus and research in order to try and find a suitable name. To expand my ideas, I also used a thesaurus to find words of the same or a similar meaning. The names highlighted are my favourites which I will forward to the group as suggestions.

SoapSecrets: Short with few syllables, uses alliteration creating a 'hushed' sound when read (onomatopoeia), catchy, connotations of secrets and hidden information - easy to remember.
SoapBuzz: Short with only two monosyllabic words, catchy, connotations of excitement, also memorable.
SoapMonthly: Short with few syllables, denotes frequentation of release (too long), memorable.
SoapSponger: Short with few syllables, connotations of lots of information, humourous, alliteration makes it catchy and memorable.
SoapConfessions: Not necessarily short, connotations of secrets and gossip, memorable but with 4 syllables.
BritishSoaps: Short, unique idea due to inverted use of 'Soap', denotes British television, not very exciting, memorable.
