103 Best Bowling Team Names (Curated & Ranked) + Generator
Bowling is probably most associated with the 20th century, but the anthropological record shows that it might go as far back as 3200 BCE in Egypt![1]
Even in the U.S., the sport goes back to at least the 1840s, when the first indoor bowling lane opened in New York City.[1]
In some states, such as Connecticut, the growth of bowling was met with opposition! While it seems like a tame sport, many people gambled over the outcomes.[2]
Eventually, though, the game was so popular that it became widely accepted, and you can still find active bowling alleys in most towns today.
Bowling team names can be funny, cool, clever, or inappropriate.
Our list features several ideas in each of these categories, but keep in mind that you may not want a dirty bowling name displayed on a screen for all to see, so use your best judgment.

How to Create Your Own Bowling Team Name
Bowling team names vary widely depending on your team’s sense of humor, the type of league you’re involved in, and what you want your name to convey to others.
Create your own bowling team name using the following tips:
- Think of a word or words that describe your team. If there’s a word or short phrase that collectively sums up your bowling team, it just might be the perfect team name. Think of the things you all have in common — perhaps your age group, city, or personality quirks. This type of name can give your team a personal touch and a sense of camaraderie.
- Call upon your common interests outside of bowling. If your team is diverse and hard to describe in one simple word or phrase, perhaps there’s an activity or favorite thing that all your members appreciate. For example, if you all love the movie The Big Lebowski, you can choose a name based on its characters or an iconic quote.
- Use humor. Many of the bowling team names on our list above aren’t listed under “Funny,” yet they’re still humorous. Since bowling teams are usually designed to bring fun to your after-work life, comedy improves almost any bowling team name! Consider your team’s sense of humor and use puns or jokes that will keep them laughing every time you meet.
