Defying Gravity... Yeah, I like it.
(Thanks Mim.)
I mean, on the one hand it's the name of a song from Wicked, and I love that musical. Elphaba is singing about how she has to run away from what everyone thinks of her and how "everyone deserves a chance to fly!" On the other hand, and on a more general note -- defying gravity may be about going against the flow, but it isn't about rebelling: It's about moving against the force that's pulling you down.
Another reason I like this name is simply because I enjoy studying physics, and gravity, well... It has to do with physics.
