Are you joking or for real?
Only half-joking. GOT7 was actually named after g.o.d., and 5LIVE was renamed Day 6 because Korean fans complained that their original name reminded them too much of Maroon 5. Still, the grammatical resemblance (to English-speaking fans, at least) seems uncanny. I'm not aware of the management ever making a statement as to why they followed the same sort of name pattern. (But then again, 2PM and 2AM already existed for several years. JYPE just has a habit of naming their groups with numbers. See also 15&.)
