How to Pick Your Space Team Name
Four checks will narrow a long list down to one in a few minutes.
- Say it out loud. If an announcer would stumble, cross it off now.
- Check the length against wherever it has to fit: a jersey, a form, a scoreboard.
- Match the tone to the room. A dark clan name lands badly at a school science fair.
- Search your league or quiz for it first, so you are not the second team with that name.
