How to Create Your Own Reading Group Names
Use the following tips to create your own reading group name ideas:
- Get inspiration from your favorite books. You can make a play on the book title or name your group after a favorite character or place from the book. For example, if you love Dr. Seuss’s books, you might call a reading group “One Fish Two Fish” after “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.” There’s a sentence in the same book about a little star — another name option might be “The Little Stars.” Just a single book will provide many options!
- Take suggestions from the group. Have each member submit an idea and put the final winner to a group vote. If the group is small, you can also take individual suggestions and combine them into a single name to include each member’s ideas.
- Try an acronym. Depending on the size of your group, you might be able to take the first letter of each member’s name and create a unique acronym as the group name. Ask each group member to decide on the word they’d like to use based on the first letter of their name; then, you can assemble the words into the acronym.
