Picking a Name That Works

  • Keep it short enough to fit on an answer sheet and for the host to read in one breath.
  • Check the room. A name that kills with friends can land badly over a microphone.
  • Some hosts give a bonus point for the best name. Topical beats crude.
  • Same team every week? Keep the name. Regulars get recognized, and so do their scores.
