You're absolutely right about the sounding xD Not just alone the names sound horribly, also together. Just wonder why it's Cloud Nine and not Seven...Quite a sweet name for a killer...^^

I read once that there used to be a radio show where the gimmick was the main character getting knocked unconscious and going to some amazing place he called Cloud Nine and having adventures and that's where the expression "on cloud nine" to indicate very happy came about.

'On cloud nine' is a pretty common idiom. I hear it a lot. This little thread made me go and try and find an origin for it but there doesn't seem to be a consensus:http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/on-cloud-nine.html
