How to Choose the Right Name

Do the roll-call test: say it like a captain announcing it. If it’s clunky, skip it.

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

Do the shirt test: would you actually wear it in public?

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

Keep it “everyone-safe”: clean humor lasts longer and works in more places.

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

Avoid deep-cut references: if only two people get it, the name dies fast.

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

Pick a name that can survive next season: today’s edgy joke becomes tomorrow’s regret.

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

Common Naming Mistakes

Going too long (five-word names look funny once… then they get old).

Choosing something that needs a backstory to make sense.

Leaning on “shock humor” that limits where you can use the name.

Accidentally picking a name that another team already uses in your league.
