    Default Themed Fantasy Team Names

    Starting last season with the Rocky Horror Roto Show, I had created my team name using a combination of horror films and players' names. Especially with the league joining in with creative names, I decided to keep the same theme for all four of my teams this season.

    Do you have a regular theme when deciding on team names?
    Any unique themes out there that you use for several of your teams?

    If you don't have a theme and want one, perhaps we could also use this thread as a brainstorming session.

    I use my "heritage" (basically, the origin of my last name) for naming my fantasy teams (mostly football).

    The most recurrent one is "The Wisigoths" (or Visigoth in English)... and sometime it's "Ostrogoths"...

    It's always fun to go with song title parodies:

    I prefer pornographic themes... the name I go by in my long-term recurring pools is "The Motherpuckers", but I've had other names involving wood, shafts, rubber and balls (in my floor-hockey rec league).

    I've got two teams at the moment.

    One is Melbourne City Tri-Lambs - There's no such place as Melbourne City, but there were two Melbourne teams, so I made a new region. Tri-Lambs is an old Revenge Of The Nerds throwback.

    Other team is Beveridge Minotaurs. Beveridge is where I actually live and I've been using the Minotaurs handle for teams since I was a little kid

    I usually just go with what amuses me. For example:

    Don't Toews Me Bro! - because that YouTube video was just hilarious to me.
    Made in Kariya - because i'm Asian (Not Korean though lol)
    Hall Me Maybe - because Carly Rae Jepsen is awesome.

    In my three dynasty leagues (Hockey/Baseball/Football) that have more than a handful of owners in common, I used Simpsons references for all of my team names:

    The Stonecutters (Hockey)
    Springfield Isotopes (Baseball)
    Flying Hellfsih (Football)

    I picked Malkin 1st overall this year, so I called my team the Geno-rational Talents.

    Hahaha Pengwin7, gotta say I love the Eberle Hillbillies and can't believe I haven't heard it before. Great name!

    I forgot my House of 1000 Orpiks in the same Horror-themed league as Pengwin7 and horrorfan. I was pretty proud of that one actually but should probably change it since I used it last year.

    Just had the two this year.

    (The) Hillers have eyes- RHRS (damn Yahoo limits on characters, team name on the league page is just Hillers have eyes)
    Highway to Helm-Pengwin's Classic

    I'm still really tempted to switch Highway to Helm to Highway to Hellberg.

    I've never done themes quite like this until these two leagues. Mostly I just chose something like say a band, and just used album titles or song titles or lyrics to come up with names.
