I've been playing fantasy football and fantasy NASCAR for several years.
Your fans are waiting!
What to name my fantasy team?
Your entire fantasy season depends on this crucial decision. It determines whether you will be feared, respected or laughed at by other players. Don't screw it up.
Seriously, it's not that big of a deal. This guide offers ideas to help you pick a great name for your fantasy team or league. Many of the examples are from fantasy football but these ideas can be used to name teams in fantasy baseball, hockey, basketball, soccer or any fantasy sport...even fantasy golf.
What makes a good team name?
Team names can instill fear in your opponents, make them laugh or just ask "what is this dude on?".A team name should sound good when used in smack talk.
Examples:
1. "You don't have a prayer against team name."
2. "team name is going to dominate this league."
Remember, it's your team so have fun naming it. The name doesn't even have to make sense and you can always change it later.
Real Sports Teams
If you want to be more creative, change the name up a little with similar words. For example, there's a guy in one of my leagues who is a Detroit Lions fan so he names his fantasy team "Motorcity Maulers".
You can also name it after your favorite team's fans like "Raider Nation" or a team slogan like "Fear The Turtle".
Songs & Bands
Some example ideas:
Redneck Yacht Club
My Kind of Livin'
First Redneck on the Internet
Did I Shave My Back for This?
Sports Phrases & Quotes
Examples:
"Just give me the damn ball"
"He hate me"
"They are who we thought they were"
How about Materazzi's head-butt inciting quote for a fantasy soccer team name?
Movies & TV Shows
Here are a few movie title ideas:
Current Events and Slang
Slang words or phrases are good, too. "Pimp My Team" for example.
Your Own Name or Nickname
Examples:
"Frank's Fury"
"Craig's Crew"
"Matt's Masters of Mayhem"
"Rover's Racetrack Raiders"
Where Are You From?
Use your nationality or location
You can also use your city, street or neighborhood in your team same. Some examples include "Pine Street Punks", "Boston Bruisers" or "South Street Crew".
Girl Team Names
Any of the above ideas will work for a girl's team. But if you really want to have fun, pick something that reminds the guys they are getting whooped by a girl.Examples:
"Girl Power"
"End Zone Divas"
Anything with the word "pink"
Work and Occupation Related Names
Still can't think of a name?
- Junkyard Jake's Team Name Generator
- This is cool. The site will generate a random name and logo for you. Expect names like the Astonishing Touchdown Hags, Disturbed GameDay Psychos and Loony TrashTalk'n Chicks.
- TeamNames.net
- A list of team names that you can rate. Also has a random team name generator.
- Action Art Banner's Team Names
- A sports banner company that built a list of team names from the banners they've created.
- Playerline's List of Team Names
- It's a big list and many of them are lame but you might see something that inspires you.

I'm partial to my "Laurel Accolades", a subtle (maybe too subtle) play on the town in which I live, Laurel. Posted March 14, 2008 |
Great for teams that are pitcher heavy

If I would have given the oppurtunity to select a teams name, I would say the best, easy and a unique name would "2 hot 2 handle". I guess that would really create a fantasy between teams when the compet with each other.
