Quick Checklist Before Choosing a Team Name

A name sticks for decades, so five quick checks save you a lot of second guessing.

1. Say it aloud. Say it next to your surname. Does it flow?
2. Check the meaning. Some names only sound watery. Confirm the link first.
3. Respect the source. Many names belong to living faiths, such as Yoruba, Hindu or Inuit traditions.
4. Think long term. Cymopoleia is magnificent. Will it fit on a school form?
5. Spot the impostors. Aegir is a male Norse sea god, and Isolde has no clear water root. Neither made our cut.
