    I always try to incorporate a player with a horror film in all of my team names.

    In the RHRS, I've chosen Ichi the Hiller, which was originally for my other league but then I drafted Hiller so had to switch.

    In the Dobber Pro league, I'm currently called Suspirria. Perhaps I'll consider changing it post-draft, depending on who's on my squad. But I do like my current one.

    I've used Captain Cangiroux before. Wordplay of Captain Kangaroo.
    Fleetwood Mackinnon.
    Baby got Backstrom is popular. (as is Baby Got Backes)

    It's pretty tough to get two names together.
    A few years ago I had Benn and Voracek and used Benn in Voracek-up?

    Backes + Couture.
    Backes to the Couture.

    If you want it to be funny, pick a song or movie that you think is funny.
    Then just check and see if any part of any player's name fits.

    The harder way is to pick a name and focus on it.
    Took me about 40min last night thinking about Krejci, catchy, kray-kray, kreppy, krappy, itchy & scratchy, eventually I got to crispy, rice crispies. And I changed Rice to Ice once I googled it and found out somebody else has thought of it before (oh well).

    Movies, Songs... work really well to play on.

    Sometimes... it can take an hour to come up with a good one.
    But once it comes to you, you'll be proud of it for the whole season!

    Biscuit Makers. I'd love a logo if anyone can make one. On twitter BWW did a contest with people where you sent them your team name and they made you a logo for fantasy football. I'm the Orange Road Cones and they made me a sweet logo.

    Haha, you guys have some great names, very clever.

    I went with Teenage Mutant Ninja Hertls for my new keeper league (too long though so it reads "TM Ninja Hertls" and loses some of it's bite)

    Armaggon04.jpg

    In the Rocky Horror Roto Show (horrorfans horror themed league) I've had House of 1000 Corvos forever. I may have to photoshop Corvo's head onto fish-mans body for the avatar now that I think about it.
    Without me, it's only "aweso".
