Over twenty years ago, some SF fans started a new convention, media oriented with a strong bias toward Dr. Who. They named it Gallifrey. As many new conventions do, Gallifrey One went deeply into debt, and the organizers swore that there'd never be a Gallifrey Two until the debt was paid off.

Next year was Gallifrey One, The Sequel. This was followed by Gallifrey One in 3-D, Gallifrey One Goes Fourth and so on. Gallifrey One is now old enough to vote. (Yes, the debt was paid off long ago.) I mention this to show how easy it can be to be clever when you're naming things. BTW, the complete list is in the Wikipedia article if you're either interested or want to see how many of the references you can catch.
