What makes a good team name?
Most folks feel like they know a good team name when they hear it, which is probably true.
But, if we wanted to break down some of the aspects of what makes a good name, we can identify some of the qualities. Here they are.
Is the name memorable?
Do you think the team name is catchy? Will you remember it after reading through a list of names? Some ideas are just obviously spotted, so they tend to be hard to forget. Others seem to sound like a whole bunch of other choices. Maybe, they are so common. One mistakes them for teams from another league.
Sometimes, a rhyme, e.g., Smash & Bash, or an alliteration, e.g., Dashing Divas, can do the trick to make names catchier. Other times, what makes the naming idea successful is borrowed interest.
Folks might know a common phrase, but it’s different and effective when reworked with new words. For example, a small change makes it Donut Call List instead of a Do Not Call List. This, in addition to conveying a different meaning, is pretty funny for a team looking to have a little fun at their own expense.
Is it simple and easy to say?
If the name is not difficult to pronounce and has a relatively simple spelling, folks are more likely to remember it. A name that features common words helps. If not, is the less common word easy to read and say?
Does the name represent the group?
Is the name age and sport appropriate? A good selection for a men’s softball team might not be effective for a little league baseball squad. Know your audience. Error on the side of ensuring that you’re not going to offend folks.
The 3-C factors: creative, clever, and cool
In a bigger league, you’ll likely come across a name or two that is clever and unique. Perhaps, it takes advantage of some current news event or plays on words that just work. It’s quick and to the point, and most people get it right away. These are the type of team names that really stand out.

Where to use your team name
There are a few places where your team name is going to show up. Let me call them out here:
The league schedule. An awesome team name will stand out from the regular stuff here.
Wearables: On your jersey, shirt, shorts, or the like. This is your opportunity to bring your team name to life with a fun logo. Think of both a type of treatment and some design elements.
Signs and posters supporting your squad. Always a fun way to support a squad.
On social media. On Facebook and Instagram posts, you can call out the team name and use it in hashtags. Also, if you have a team website, your team name can be all over it.
In your team communications. So, your manager or team captain can always sign off each email or text with their name and the team name.
Now, with whatever team name your team selects, embrace it and have a great season!
