How to Create a Great Debate Team Name

Create a great debate team name using the following tips:

Use debate terms. Think about the terms used in debates and choose one you like. You can add a descriptive word or phrase to the term to create a unique team name.
Create a team name with a motivational word or phrase. Motivational words or short phrases make great team names. Involve your whole team in the process by having each member submit their name of choice, then have the team vote to choose the winner.
Make a debate acronym out of your team’s first initials. Use each team member’s first initial to form an acronym out of debate-related words. For example, if Paul, Sam, and Dan are a team, their acronym could be Persuade Skeptics Daily. Get creative!
Choose a single word that isn’t specific to debate. Single-word team names can be powerful and impactful. Think of powerful words and synonyms for a great range of options.
