What to nickname the Curry/Ellis tandem?

I need ideas, people. Big ideas.
There has been much discussion of what to nickname Curry. But we could do something bigger, something better: We could foment team harmony through granting Curry and Ellis a double nickname. Think about it. Shaq and Wade coexisted because they were Diesel and Flash. When he was with Kobe, only Shaq had the nickname(s). We all know how that went. A nickname tandem bridles egos. It is a constant reminder that players work together, need each other, and are better for the situation. Let's do our small part to mitigate the rumored Monta dissatisfaction over a new 'playmaking point guard.' I ask everybody here: What should we call the Slasher/Shooter Curry Ellis combo?
Slash (Monta) and Burn (Curry)?
Remember the Light Skins (probably too needlessly racial)?
Crackle (Monta) and Pop (Curry)? In reference to MoPed ankle injury we could call Ellis 'snap' as well.
Rain (Curry) and Lightning (Monta)?
Tweedlethree (Curry) and Tweedledunk (Ellis)?
Layup (Monta) and Trey-up (Curry)?
I'm sure you could do better, let's find that perfect nickname!

Hahah, I'm reminded of The Black Knight from Monty Python
I can picture Monta and Stephen yelling, ’I’ll bite yr legs off!’ as swingmen rack up points.

Not Again
Since we’ll be saying that a lot once Nellie continues to play the two side by side despite getting raped continuously by their man.
i have a feeling they’ll be playing a lot of zone this season.

Per Taledega Nights - "Shake & Bake"
Lil Baby Jesus
blacktop to the hardwood
I was about to rip this post
We should actually see them play before giving out nicknames, but I love Shake and Bake.
Not to mention it would probably be extremely annoying to them to be referred to that way. I somehow like the idea of antognizing them a bit. Must be the big brother coming out in me.
And it goes a little somethin like this...
Its time for a change...

The Big EC
because both Ellis and Curry are an oversized backcourt at 7 ft tall !
I like Pass and Gas
Maybe pass n gas for the double meaning
