Hugnin and Munin strikes me as hard to say (I don't care for words that stack a 'gn' together like that, unless it's a fake sound like "impugn"). Not a huge fan. It's a nice concept, but Norse words/names aren't known for the attractiveness of their tonal quality.
As I'm sure we've discussed, I'm very much not a fan of tradition, stupid or not. That's not to say I don't engage in some traditions - I do. However, unless there's a compelling reason to do so, I find them somewhat silly. For example, I can understand wanting to partake in the hoop rolling because all of one's friends will be there and it'll be fun to hang out, but if one had no friends there the event would have no appeal to me at all. The tradition component is meaningless (to me).
As for the situation with NG...yeah, people are dumb. I don't have much more for you than that. ;)
Oh, yeah. Traditional exercise - friends to laugh at it with = suck. I just like the sense of community, of my group of friends being tied to previous alums by that experience, silly as it is. And it's a rhyming noise, as far as the name: sounds like "hewnin." Kind of fun to say out loud for me, actually. You've already contributed quite a bit to that other situation; I'm taking your advice, after all. ^__^

If you really want to cut the headache out, you can block those people on Facebook. I think this is an option, anyway.
