On Vanderump Rules' September 28 Season 9 premiere, Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval excitedly revealed that they are opening a new bar. While they already had a location set and big ideas for a theme, one detail the best friend duo couldn't quite agree on was a name.

Schwartz told Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd they were "still working on the name," but Sandoval felt strongly about one in particular. "Actually we have settled on a name, and it's Schwartz and Sandy's," he explained in an interview.

Their loved ones had mixed feelings about the idea, to say the least. "I think it's horrible," Katie Maloney-Schwartz said, later adding in an interview, "You wanna make it like psychedelic, funky, fresh, lights, textures, and then you wan't to call it f--king Schwartz and Sandy's? Ugh. I lost my boner."

Of course, some viewers were happy to help the pals decide on a name. On Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen's episode the same night, one person wrote in to suggest, "I wanted to float the name 'Tomfoolery' for a bar." Another offered: "Name the bar 'Katiana' using Katie and Ariana's names. You're welcome."

Although Schwartz noted, "Katiana's solid," it turns out that he and Sandoval have already made a firm decision on the bar's name. "It's Schwartz and Sandy's," Sandoval declared, before Schwartz added, "It's official."

Like many of us, Andy Cohen had a few remaining questions about the name. "Is your nickname actually Sandy, by the way?" he asked Sandoval, who replied with a shrug, "I don't know." Later, when Andy inquired as to how they decided on Schwartz's moniker being first, Sandoval explained, "I don't know...it just sounds right."
