Need Help with Team Name!

[Emily3204]

So team 3204 is an all-girls robotics team from Jamaica Estates, NY. This was our rookie year, and we went on to win the NYC Regional, and then went to ATL. However, we have been operating under the name "The Mary Louis Academy Robotics Team" which lacks a certain amount of creativity. Does anyone have any ideas for a potential team name? We are open to anything (plays on Star Wars names, etc.) Thanks!

I can't get past Jamaica Estates.

Jamaica to be exact. There's a lot of potential in that and especially in that you are located north... You could easily brand yourselves with colorful dress, music, and a name and find a way to play off the fun of being from New York. I came up with Jamaican Jams really fast just by looking at your location.

That's almost like Star Wars.

Do you have a school mascot that you could draw upon? Say, if your school sports team is the Falcons you could play aorund with that.

Or, take the initials of your school: "The Mary Louis Academy Robotics Team" = MLART or TMLART. I'm drawing a blank now (it's the end of a very loooonnnng work week), but use that as a starting point as well.

This thread has some very good ideas for helping with creativity. Random name generators seem to be favorable.

I thought TMLA robotics sounded nice when they announced it during NYC.

The best thing I can think of is:
The Queens of Queens

How about:
Jamaican Robots (Jus' Makin' Robots)

Just did some Wikipedia digging...how about Louis Crusaders? Either pronounced English or French...I would recommend English as if you go the Fr route you'll have to remind each new MC/announcer you meet.

Not only includes the school name (important), is differentiated from athletics (also important), but also an homage to the crusading of St Louis IX (you could have some fun with this theme - shields, fake swords, and such).

Plays off the Penguin mascot would work too, however, you will have to do your research as there are (and were) quite a few Penguin-related teams - the Penguineers probably the most prominent at this point.

Good luck! If I can help in any way, let me know.

Thanks everybody, forget to mention, but yes our mascot is a penguin.

For irony, how about the Jamaican Penguins?

Oh I wish you hadn't have said that...
Now I'm thinking of quotes from the movie, Cool Runnings: you want to kiss my egg?

Perfect.

"'Nuff people say, you know they can't believe, Jamaica, we have a bobsled robotics team."

That is such an awesome movie.
