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.
