How to use it
- Choose the Sport. It sets the animal and nature words used in the second part of each name.
- Choose the Style, which sets the first word of each name.
- Type How many names you need, from 1 to 50.
- Copy the list, or download it as a text file.
How the names are made
Each name is a first word from the style list and a second word from the sport list, such as Red Falcons. The tool makes every possible pair, shuffles the pairs at random and takes the number you asked for, so no name appears twice.
Animal and nature words are common in team names. The Wikipedia article on mascots notes that team mascots are often related to the team's nickname, especially when the nickname is a living animal (Wikipedia, Mascot).
Names = every style word × every sport word, shuffled, with the first N taken
Example: 8 colour words and 10 football words make 80 different names.- The word lists were written for this tool and are generic. Real clubs also use common words like these, so check a name before you register it.
- No name is checked against any register of clubs, leagues or trademarks.
What the generator does not do
- Check that a name is free to use, or that it is not a trademark.
- Judge the names. They are a starting point for your own choice.
Example: the number of names
With the default settings (football, colour words, 10 names) the list has ten names. The tool has 8 colour words and 10 football words, which make 80 different pairs, so the ten names are drawn from the 80 and none is repeated.
The largest list is 50 names: 50 of the 80 pairs, in a random order.
Frequently asked questions
Are these the names of real clubs?
No. The words are generic: colours, places, spirit words and animals. A name may still be used by a real club somewhere, so search for it before you choose one.
Can I use a name for my own team?
Yes, as a starting point. Before you register a name for a club or a league, check that it is not already in use and that it is not a trademark.
Why are animal words so common?
Animals and nature words are widely used for team nicknames, and mascots are often related to the nickname (Wikipedia, Mascot).
Why does the list never repeat a name?
The tool makes every pair of words, shuffles them and takes the first names of the shuffled list. Each pair appears once, so the names are all different.
Does the Turkish page use the same words?
No. The Turkish page uses its own Turkish word lists, and the adjective comes before the plural noun, as in Kızıl Şahinler.
