Five Considerations for How To Name Your Team

1.) Let your field of endeavor help name your team.

If you’re looking for a basketball team name, write down a list of words related to basketball. It might help you come up with team name ideas like Shooting Stars, Chicken Noodle Hoop, or Basket Hounds. For trivia teams, work, and chat groups, the names you come up with will be different.

2.) Be original!

Not all team names have to follow the traditional city or state name followed by a mascot name like the Detroit Lions. Think outside of the box. For a running team, you might come up with options like Legs Miserable, Between a Rock and a Hard Pace, and The Agony of de Feet.

3.) Consider your locale.

Perhaps there are landmarks and history of a specific city, state, or region that you can use to create a moniker for your group. Really, the only team in the NFL that could be called the 49ers must hail from San Francisco. (Ok, the Utah Jazz is an exception.)

4.) Bring in borrowed interest.

If you’re looking for a powerful team name, consider borrowed interest naming ideas from TV, movies, well-known products, songs, and elsewhere. How about a soccer team named Game of Throw-ins? Or, a softball team name named Base Invaders?

5.) Make your team name reflect your members.

Is your squad make-up a bit on the “veteran side”? Why not call your team The Recycle Bin? Does your all-female squad play lacrosse? How about Chicks With Sticks? Or, for your trivia team who is not too serious about the game, consider I Thought I Was Speed Dating.
