Letter "R" drawn in rocks on sand

Long before R was the commonly-used 18th letter of the English alphabet, it was used in languages since ancient times.[1][2]

Uniquely, R has always represented about the same sound, unlike other letters that have changed dramatically over time.[2]

Some, including William Shakespeare in “Romeo and Juliet,” refer to it as the “dog’s letter” because it can sound similar to a growl.[3]

How to Create a Great Team Name Starting With R

Team names starting with R can range from silly and nonsensical to cool and polished. Whatever your team’s purpose or vibe, you can create a name to perfectly suit it.

Create a great team name starting with R using the following tips:

  • Look around the room wherever you are. Take a look at your surroundings and see if you can find anything that starts with the letter R. Once you find some items, try them out as team names. You might want to add a word or two to take your new team name to the next level.
  • Think of adjectives that start with R. Descriptive words like “radiant” and “radical” are great for forming team names. You can place them before any other word that describes your team (regardless of its spelling) to easily create a team name starting with R. For example, if your team could be described as “bookworms,” add an “R” adjective to start the team name — “Rebellious Bookworms,” “Restless Bookworms,” etc. With a list of “R” adjectives to choose from as the name’s first word, your team name options become virtually endless!
  • Do you have any favorite things that start with R? Maybe you and your team play a video game that starts with R or you all have a favorite food that starts with R. For a unique team name that is collectively meaningful, create a name by using a favorite word or phrase that the whole group will appreciate and identify with.
