I didn't know about such band. I thought it stands for game named command &
conquer... Nevertheless it seems to be a nice choice. 'cnc' seems to be easy
short name (though common abbreviation for 'command and control' is 'c2').

Joan has only one different letter from John though it does not seem to be
easy to mistype it on qwerty keyboard.

Jade is interesting because it continues line of names from mortal kombat
series (both Shinnok and Johnny are fighters). But in debian there is already
'jade' package - James Clark's DSSSL Engine, also there are related packages.
Just realized that given names should be hard for google. Maybe using names is
a bad idea at all. So I tend to stick to Command and Control Password Factory.
