Cornhole’s origins are uncertain. Some say the game goes back over 500 years and was invented in Germany; others estimate a more recent origin, starting with farmers in Kentucky.[1]
Depending on where you live, you might know cornhole by several other names: baggo, bags, bagz, backyard toss, bean bags, chuck-o, corn toss, lawn toss, hillbilly horseshoes, soft horseshoes, or tailgate toss, to name a few.[2]
Regardless of where it started and what you call it, this simple game is now a favorite of many summer tailgates and barbecues!
Cornhole can get very competitive, but it’s usually a light-hearted, exciting addition to outdoor events.
Your cornhole team name should be at least as funny as the game’s name, if not more.

How to Create the Best Cornhole Team Name
If you’d prefer to create your own cornhole/bean bag team name rather than use one of our suggestions, we have tips to get you on the right track below.
Keep the following in mind when creating your cornhole team:
- Use your sense of humor. If your group has inside jokes you’re always laughing over, those can be excellent sources of inspiration for your team name, even if the jokes aren’t cornhole-related. You can also just brainstorm a list of funny names with your team — perhaps even create a competition out of who can come up with the most amusing name. This will help you find a catchy name that’s unique and personal to your group. Keep it light-hearted and fun.
- Use a family name. If your team is made up of members from the same family, use your last name and add a funny descriptive word to it (for example, The Ferris Fouls). You can use terms explicitly related to cornhole, or choose random words that are meaningful to your team.
- Research recreational and official cornhole rules and terms. You can take a common cornhole phrase (like “candycorn” — a bean bag that falls short of the board) and tweak it into the perfect cornhole team name by changing the spelling or adding descriptive words. Cornhole’s terminology is full of puns and jokes, making it easy to find a great game-specific team name.
