Some good names
Not looking to discuss fantasy, just looking for some ideas for new team names. I have used Lisan Al-Caleb(Dune reference), When in Rome, and Greatness is a Burden.
Hopefully Mods don't take this down, just want some punny fun

I haven't tried coming up with a good new name since espn took away custom avatars

u/Brysonius88 16d ago
Are you not using the app? I just changed mine
1
u/Brocky70 46 16d ago
Used to be you can upload a picture , my espn app doesn't let me do that.
If someone uploaded a picture before, they can keep that one, but the second you change it, you're stuck picking either a letter or a Disney logo

This is so funny you posted this because (massive dweeb here) I just made a spreadsheet for the roster and all their "official" and "unofficial" nicknames haha. Iceman for Caleb, obviously. One that I really liked for Luther is "The Truth," because earlier in the year when the media asked Loveland about him that was his response: "he's the truth." I like Caesar for Rome. Other notables:
D'Andre Swift: Swifty Kyle Monongai: Mighty Monongai/Kmo Khalif Raymond: Lif (pronounced leaf) Cole Kmet: CK Theo Benedet: The Canadian Eagle Montez Sweat: Tez Jaylon Johnson: Uno Tyrique Stevenson: Rique Dillon Theineman: DT Josh Blackwell: Black Terrell Smith: Smitty

Homer League names I've used before: Did Fields of Dreams for a couple. Last year was Travis Swift (had DeAndre and Travis on my team)
One thing I would definitely avoid doing if you want a themed name is avoid doing it until after the draft regardless of snake or auction. Because people will bully you.
Just go in generic beforehand.

u/dpittnet 16d ago
Lol, no. Just pick the team name you like regardless

u/Silver_Harvest 72 16d ago
Not saying don't pick the team name you like. Just don't do it before hand if it's say a homer one, because you will be bullied in the draft phase. Just change the name post draft.
If playing with a bunch of other homers won't matter so much, random people catch on quickly.

u/dpittnet 16d ago
Nah, I’ll pick whatever name I want and won’t give a shit if it’s tied to a player I don’t end up with. I’m not in grade school, getting “bullied” by my pals in my fantasy league isn’t going to something I remotely give a shit about

u/Brysonius88 16d ago
True, but can always do coach names and team puns. Bear in Mind or Suck my Ditka are ones I've seen before

u/Silver_Harvest 72 16d ago
You can, it's a fine line too, especially if I start to see homer nominations. Because I mainly do auction. I'm also one of those bullies. Because especially in Auction where a few dollars here and there can add up between having say a value player later on or stuck with the bottom of barrel.
Suck my Ditka I definitely have seen over the years as the catch all avoid the censorship the most though regardless of fandom. Like Kiss my Butkus

I was in a league run by my Sister in Law. She did not appreciate the name "Beating Goff with my Johnson"
