There aren't many magazines that appeal to the christian youth of today, and in the past few months I have felt the need to remedy this situation. I have decided to, somehow, with a lot of prayer, start a new christian magazine. But like with any good idea there has to be a starting point, and my starting point happens to be the name?
I have had a few suggestions but don't know which one to use, the suggestions I have has thus far are:
1) The JC Mag
2) Fire
3) PGX - Passionate Generation X
Please can anyone who reads this give me your opinion as to which one would be the most popular one to go with, additional suggestions are most welcome, keeping in mind that this will be a magazine specifically targeted to the youth of today.

My Testimony:
i always considered myself to be a christian. not until i attended a youth conference at my now current church did i realise that i was all but a christian. there are no bells and whistles, fireworks, or teary-eyed comments in my testimonial, i simply realised that i needed more...

While in my few years of youth ministry I encountered a number of really good youth-based mags. However, most of them were denominational specific (or rather, published by a specific denomination).
A friend of mine works over at CTI and last I checked they didn't have any youth mags.
To be honest, I'm not sure I like any of the names you suggested. How about something simple like "God's Youth"
I'm not saying I don't like your suggestion, but the type of title i'm looking for I would like it to appeal to the christian youth market as well as the non christian youth market.
But the mag would be 100% christian orientated. I would like the magazine to appeal to christians who already know Jesus Christ and at the same time I would like to impact the non Christians that read the mag to take a step back and say, "...OK, maybe I should take a look at my life..."
Although your suggested title is quite apt and straight to the point, I feel that a non christian would scan right over it to the next mag on the shelf.
