I'm a big fan of mashing player names into songs/tv/pop culture in general. Last year I used The Fear Boners for most of my teams. The name comes from the show, "The League", which is one of my favourite shows.
Not sure about this year yet, I still have to get my creative juices back into fantasy season.

I've won two championships as "Poppin' Don's Cherry", so I'm kinda partial to that one.
I started using various SlapShot references years ago:
* Ogie Oglethorpe's Afro
* Reg Dunlop's Leather Pants
* McCracken's Dr Hook
(It's kind of a Chicago Sportsradio thing. Callers into talk shows on 670 the Score tend to give themselves weird nicknames: 'Hawk Harrelson's EyePatch', 'Dave Wannstadt's Moustache,' etc)
Some of the other guys picked up on it, and they've gone with
* FLA Snatch By The Pool
* Mile 40 Saskatchewan
Names I've wanted to use but haven't yet:
* Original Six Pack
* Crosby, Staals and Nash (wouldn't feel right without having them)
Well seeing as how this thread got revived I'll post a couple that popped into my head out of nowhere the other night at work.

Building on this list, some of my new hockey team names for 2013-2014:
*Fleetwood Mac-kinnon (The Classic [Rock Themed] League)
*Kings Landing (Dobber Pro. I own King Joffrey Lupul & two LA Kings. Game of Thrones Reference)
*Pavelnormal Activity (Horror-themed league, I do own Datsyuk)
Mentioned this in the Breaking Bad thread, but my league ended up adopting a Breaking Bad theme simply because when I created the league I couldn't think of a cool name...and I was watching BB at the time lol. That's how my league ended up with the name "Dumbledore" last year.
Anyway, some of the team names in the league so far:
Skyler Bozak
Antoine Vermeth
Tuukka Salamanca
ASAC Schroeder
Aki Heisenberg
Need for Smid
Letestube Babies
The last two aren't really Breaking Bad related but are related to the themes of the show. I'm trying to convince more members of the league to embrace
These are mine:
I Smid On Your Grave (Rocky Horror Roto Show)
Poltergreiss (My regular H2H)
Quatermoss & The Sid (Dobber Pro Campbell)
Zombie Heaters (The Classic - Rock-Themed League)
For the Experts League I went with Daoust Dynasty. Not because of the TV show. Because I plan to win.
