"I like both titles. I just did a quick google search and found several groups with "freethought" in their title, so if you like that one better, go for it!"
Christian J Brooks added a discussion to the group American Atheists (Official)
Can "Freethought" be an adjective
I created this group called "Freethought Families of Chicago" and someone mentioned that the name is not grammatically correct. It should read, they say, as "Freethinking Families of Chicago." When I created the title, I had not really thought of it, the name just seemed to roll off the tongue well.

Good Username for Group's Twitter Account?
The Chicago Freethought Project is trying to come up with a good username for our Twitter account. Unfortunately, we're only given 15 characters and they have to be alphanumeric. One's I've considered and mostly dismissed or unable to use for several reasons: chcgfrthghtprojchifreeprojChiFreethoughtChicFreethoughtCFPTCFP ...and variations on those. Anyone have thoughts?See More

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Hi to Christian J Brooks in Chicago, and welcome to Atheist Nexus. We are pleased to welcome you here among the sensible, rational people of this world who, like you, recognise religion for the superstition and fraud that it is --- and that God and gods are nothing but fictions inside people's heads.

"ORIGINS: Universe, Life, Earth, Humankind, Fossils, Religion, Evolution, Darwin..." with its 250 discussion topics.
We invite you to come and see, and to make good new friends.
