Re: Acceptable Name?

I think BANG is just fine for a name...but I'd like to add a caution. Team THRUST is an amazing team that has been around longer then I've been aware of FIRST. They have always gone by Team THRUST with a heavy use of aviation for their theme. However, their members were getting teased at school by other high schoolers that were a bit less civil. Eventually, there was a push to change the name by the students yet they were known by everyone in FIRST as team THRUST and they'd have to rebuild their name. I don't think they ended up changing their name, but I can't recall. I don't see BANG as suggestive, but some high schoolers might and it could lead to troubles in that manner. However, it really depends on the school and the way you present it within the school. I'd consider announcing the team as that name around the school(kind of a trial run) and see what kind of response you get. I don't think you'd get anything bad, but its better safe then sorry.

Disclaimer: I'm not on the team nor was I on their school. If anyone was or can correct anything I might have misspoken, I'd appreciate it.
