Fantasy Football: What's In A Name?

7. June 2011  - Published by Dan Clasgens

BestOfStupid.com looks at some guidelines in coming up with a fantasy name:

1. Pick an Obscure Animal: Calling yourself the Tigers is pretty boring. But if you pick an obscure animal that most people know nothing about, then it can potentially be funny. For example, how about a jellyfish? An aardvark? Why not a star nosed mole? If you go with an animal, make sure it’s a good one. Choosing something snugly like an angora rabbit will likely make the other players in your league think you’re a big wimp.

2. Think Pop Culture: I hate pop culture, but lots of people like it. Think to some movies you’ve watched lately or a song you’ve heard. Lady Gaga is really big (and disgusting in my opinion) these days so you could be the “Lady Disgust-ga-gas”. That’s not really funny, but it serves as an example of something wittier and funnier you can hopefully come up with on your own.

3. Something Menacing: It can be really funny if you have a menacing name and then it turns out that your team is totally terrible.

4. An Old Cliche: Simply head on over to the Cliche Finder and pick whatever word you happen to like. Voila – You can be the “Crazy Sack O Cats”.

5. Something Football Related: Pick a player name and find some play on words with his name. I suck at this to give you examples but at least once a year I see a name like Farvenators and I’m sure you can think of something much better.

6. Add in a Ridiculous Adjective: Add more power to your name by picking a very strange adjective. The Handsome Lizards, the Menacing Angora Rabbit, the Precious Flip Flops, the Bamboozling Pandas…you get the idea
