How to Create an Awesome Dodgeball Team Name
When creating a dodgeball team name, you can get inspiration from anywhere.
There aren’t any strict rules for your name, so choose a name that shows off your team’s sense of humor, interests, or personalities.
Keep the following tips in mind to help you brainstorm a list of potential names:
- Use a favorite word or quote. If your team has a favorite expression or quote, you may want to incorporate it into your dodgeball team name. You can use single descriptive words or short phrases for your team name. Take input from all of your team members, and get creative!
- Get inspiration from entertainment. Movies, songs, and books are great places to find inspiration for your dodgeball team name. “Dodgeball” isn’t the only movie that can inspire your team! It can be a sports movie, an action movie, or any other type; create name ideas from the characters, title, or scenario. If your team members have a motivational song, choose the title or a lyric for your team name.
- Create an acronym with the names of your team members. To create an acronym with your team members’ names, take the first initial from each person’s name. Next, find a word for each initial to make up the acronym’s phrase. You can choose any random word for each letter or one that specifically describes that member.
