How to Choose the Right Name

Match the vibe of your league. Work leagues and family leagues usually prefer clean humor, while friend leagues can handle spicier names.

Choose a name that fits your team’s purpose, activity, or personality.

Say it like a callout. If it feels awkward to say on Sunday, you will stop using it.

Choose a name that fits your team’s purpose, activity, or personality.

If you use a player pun, pick a player you plan to keep, or choose a pun that still makes sense after a trade.

Choose a name that fits your team’s purpose, activity, or personality.

Keep it readable in standings. Shorter names or clear spacing usually win.

Choose a name that fits your team’s purpose, activity, or personality.

If you are stuck, use the Fantasy Football Team Name Generator to spin a few variations based on your tone.

Choose a name that fits your team’s purpose, activity, or personality.

Common Naming Mistakes

Going too inside joke. If only you understand it, the name never really lands.

Choosing a name that is too long, then the league app chops it and it looks messy.

Picking a player based name for someone you do not really like, then you are stuck staring at it all season.

Forgetting your audience. A name that is fine in a private league can be awkward in a work chat.
