FAQs
How many words should a team name have?
Two to four words typically balance clarity and flair. Short names are easier to chant and fit better on jerseys.
Can we merge themes like color and military?
Absolutely. Hybrids like “Cobalt Command” or “Sage Sentinel” feel fresh and distinctive.
What makes a name funny without going overboard?
Smart puns, playful alliteration, and sport-specific references. Keep it witty, not wordy.
How do we test a name quickly?
Chant it three times, text it to your group, and mock up a quick logo. If it sparks immediate smiles or nods, you’ve got a winner.
