Rank	Item	Why is it the best
1.	Names based on your own name	Create a catchy name based on your own first or last name, and instantly put your mark on your fantasy football team name. Of course, it would be boring to name your team Bob's Fantasy Football Team. Using another word beginning with the same letter as your name will make the team's final title flow off the tongue. Whether you become the proud manager of William's Warriors or Tracy's Touchdown Kings, no one will ever doubt who's in charge.

2.	Names to inspire fear	Think of the most powerful and vicious animals and natural forces. Channel the power of a cougar or a hurricane to bring success to your team. You can also follow this suggestion in a tongue-in-cheek manner, naming your team after tax audits, root canals, and similar unpleasant experiences.

3.	Names to pay tribute	Many fantasy football team names pay tribute to the manager's favorites. Some fantasy football participants prefer to remain within the sports realm, naming their team after a favorite player or real-life franchise. You can also honor your state or city of residence in your team name. Others turn to popular culture for inspiration. Many a team has been named Git-R-Done in tribute to Larry the Cable Guy's trademark catchphrase. In a list of team names, FootballGuys.com includes the Gmail Giants and the Velvet Elvises.

4.	Names based on wordplay	A clever play-on-words can result in a creative and memorable team name. For instance, FootballGuys.com, lists Adam Bomb, a twist on the phrase "atom bomb" presumably created by a guy named Adam. Think of famous sayings, other team names, and the titles of popular books, movies, and music as the basis for you own pun-inspired name.

5.	Random names	Your team name doesn't necessarily have to have anything to do with football, or make any sense, for that matter. If you want to be unique, think of a completely unrelated team name. Animals falling far outside the realm of typical football team names seem to be a popular choice. For instance, PlayerLine's list of fantasy football team names includes The Evil Koalas and Jackalopes. These names are certainly attention-grabbers, and you're sure to be remembered for them, regardless of your skill as a fantasy football team manager.

6.	Names combining multiple suggestions	Creating a humorous pun and naming a team after yourself both sound like such great ideas - how can you choose between them? You don't have to! Mix and match any of the above suggestions to create the best fantasy football team name in your league.
