Re: Acceptable Name?

When choosing a name and establishing yourselves in the community, questions to think about are:

What is the purpose of the team?
Who will the team be interacting with in the community?
How will the decisions made impact sponsors and potential sponsors?
What are the short term and long term goals of the team? Are the decisions reflecting them well?
Is the attention that the team is trying to grab, positive or negative? Does it matter?
What's in a name?

Those are a few questions for you, as a team, to talk about in helping you arrive to your decision. Promotion and marketing is the other part of this and presents opportunity for helping to develop the team branding/reputation. With that comes more questions that the team should be asking and exploring.

Good luck this season!

Edit: Richard just did an excellent job of showing the positive potential of BANG as a name and in the promotion/marketing side of things. The Big BANG is a great suggestion - BANG for short.
