How to Create Your Own “SpongeBob SquarePants” Team Names

Use the following tips to create your own “SpongeBob SquarePants” team names:

  • Get inspiration from your favorite character. From our main characters, SpongeBob and Patrick Star, to quirky side-characters like Mr. Krabs, Mrs. Puff, and Larry the Lobster, you can use your favorite character to generate a team name. For example, if you love Patrick Star, you can choose something like “Patrick’s Stars,” “The Sea Stars,” or “AquaDaubers.”
  • Make use of iconic quotes and scenes from the show. You have over 10 seasons of material to call upon here! Re-watch your favorite episodes or look up compilations of funny moments to find quotes or scenes you can use. Two examples from our list are “F is for Friends” and “Ugly & Proud,” both inspired by quotes from SpongeBob himself!
  • Go for an “under the sea” theme. Even someone who hasn’t seen “SpongeBob SquarePants” can probably tell you that he lives in a pineapple under the sea. Get inspiration from SpongeBob’s environment for your team name, choosing a particular sea creature or one of Bikini Bottom’s defining features as a team name.
