Tips for Choosing Your Team Name
The best trivia names are short enough to be read aloud quickly by the host, clever enough to get a reaction, and specific enough to feel like yours. Avoid overly long names (hosts will abbreviate anyway) and overly offensive humor that might get you disqualified. A name that gets a genuine laugh from the host on first read is worth more than a name that requires explanation. Test your candidates aloud to 3 people outside your team — if they all get it immediately, it's a good name.
