Steps
Tips for Naming a Team

-
Decide if you want to put the team type in the name. Are you a basketball team? Improv group? Trivia team? The type of team you are in could help you come up with a team name! While brainstorming names, consider whether or not you want what your team’s associated with in the name.[1]- For instance, say you’re coming up with a name for a football team. You could be the “Football Fanatics” or even “Team Football Forever.”
-
Think of popular things associated with your team. Sit with all your players or teammates and write down or brainstorm what words you associated with yourselves and your team. These can be adjectives, synonyms, or pop culture references.[2]- For example, “strong,” “fearless,” and “brave” could all be associated with a team called the “Warriors.”[3]
-
Note what team members have in common. Take a look around at your friends or players within your team. What do you all have in common? Words that describe your relationships or characteristics can be used to make a unique team name.[4]- Let’s say you’re on a team at work with everyone on your shift. You’re all fast and reliable at your job, so you might name yourselves “Speedy Shift 4.”
-
Determine your team’s vibe. A team name says a lot about your team before you even step on the court or meet your competitors. Consider the type of image you want to portray before solidifying your name.[5]- For instance, a silly team name like “Silly Gooses” shows that your team is goofy and ready to have a good time. Alternatively, a name like “A-Team” is more serious but laid-back.
-
Make your team name inclusive. The last thing you want to do is exclude members of your team. So, make sure everyone agrees on the name before you pick it. Similarly, if you use an inside joke or reference in the name, be sure everyone understands it.[6] -
Use a team name generator. Still stuck on a team name everyone can agree on? No worries! If our suggestions didn’t spark a name, try using a name generator. These can give you more personalized results, especially if you already have a few team adjectives in mind.- We suggest using Fantasy Name Generator, which can generate names for sports teams, fantasy leagues, and more.
