Choose the kind of team. There are 17 options: fantasy football, basketball and baseball; ten sports from soccer and hockey to bowling, pickleball and cornhole; a classic place-and-mascot sports team; and teams for work, trivia nights and school. 2. Pick a style: *Funny & puns*, *Cool & clever*, *Cute* for young kids’ teams, or *Women’s & girls’* for a ladies’ league. *Any style* mixes them. 3. Want a name that is yours alone? Type your city, school, company, department or a word into the box. You will get names like *The Denver Otters*, *Marketing Masterminds* or *Mike’s Mavericks*. 4. Tap a name to copy it, and ♥ the ones you like so the whole team can vote on a shortlist. The generator mixes 1,231 hand-written team names with names it builds from sport words, 170 mascots and the everyday animals of our dictionary. It never uses the names of real players, which go out of date every season, and it checks every result against the names of professional teams, so you will not be handed the name of a real NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA or MLS team or a famous soccer club. ## Fantasy football team names A good **fantasy football team name** is a pun the whole league gets, short enough to read on a phone screen.
