It also holds special meaning in several cultures, including courage (Japan) and mourning (Egypt)[2][3] — but in many cases, it simply brings to mind happiness and warmth.

How to Create a Great Yellow Team Name
- Look up yellow flowers, animals, and other objects. Some obvious examples of yellow things will come to mind immediately when you begin crafting your team name, but for options beyond sunflowers and rubber ducks, search the web for longer lists of yellow things. You may find an interesting animal or object you’ve never heard of, or one with a unique name that can help your team stand out.
- Choose the shade of yellow that best reflects your team. Yellows range from the almost-white shade of banana to the deep yellow-brown of dijon. Rather than just using the word “yellow,” you might want to choose a specific shade — bumblebee yellow to reflect that you’ll “sting” the competition, for example, or honey to show off your sweet side. If your team chooses gold as its shade, see our list of 50+ gold team name ideas.
- Use the formula of Color + Creature. You can take virtually any animal or mythical creature and add the word “yellow” (or a specific shade) to it to create a neat team name. Examples include “Yellow Beetles” or “Canary Faeries.” These names are lighthearted and can be silly, but are very easy to create.
