How were the Harlem Globetrotters named?
Per Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader,
“In late 1926, Abe Saperstein took over as coach of a touring African-American team in Chicago called the Savoy Big Five (they played their games at the Savoy Ballroom). Saperstein renamed them the Harlem Globetrotters because all the players were African-American (Harlem being a predominantly African-American neighborhood).”
And, it goes without saying that the team traveled the globe, taking on basketball teams from many countries.

Why are the Baltimore Orioles so named?
Per Mental Floss:
“When the St. Louis Browns moved to Baltimore in 1954, the franchise was rebranded with the same nickname as the Baltimore team that dominated the old National League in the late 1890s. That team, which featured the likes of Wee Willie Keeler and John McGraw, was named after the state bird of Maryland. The orange and black colors of the male Oriole bird resembled the colors on the coat of arms of Lord Baltimore.”

Team Name Generator
To generate your team names, create two lists sorted by columns: 1.) Your favorite adjectives – these can come from this list or your favorites. 2.) Your favorite nouns – these can also come from the ideas here or ones of your choosing.
Then, mix and match, placing items from each list. Try adjectives both before and after the nouns. It looks for different combinations. Don’t try to edit the first time through, as even silly names might spark additional ideas.
So, for example, if your adjective column has these words:
Flying.
Blue.
Mad.
And your noun column has these words:
Crusaders.
Magicians.
Lizards.
You might generate team names like:
Mad Magicians,
Flying Lizards,
and Blue Crusaders.
This approach serves as a random team name generator. A team names generator can be a help when you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for.
