How to Choose the Right Name

Decide where the name will live most, a chat header, a jersey, a social handle, or all three.

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

If your squad changes over time, avoid names tied to one person, one inside joke, or one specific moment.

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

Say it out loud like you are calling the group over, if it feels awkward, it will not stick.

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

Keep it easy to type, long names get shortened and the nickname becomes the real name.

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

Common Naming Mistakes

Picking something so generic it could describe any group, then it disappears in a list of chats.

Choosing a name that only two people understand, which leaves the rest of the squad feeling outside the joke.

Going too long or too complicated, then everyone abbreviates it anyway.

Copying a famous crew name too closely, which makes it feel less original and harder to own.

Conclusion

A good squad name makes it easier to rally the group, keep plans organized, and feel like you are part of the same unit. If you want a name that lasts, choose one your group will still be happy seeing in a notification six months from now, and keep it simple enough to say without thinking.
