Get Inspired by Actors/Actresses Names
One creative and quirky option for a team name is to use classic actor and actress names. For example, your team name could be “The Pacinos” in honor of Al Pacino, “The Streeps” to pay homage to Meryl Streep, or the “Hammers” to honor vintage actor Christopher Lee.
Other fun ideas would include “The Anthonys” for Tony Curtis and Tony Danza, “The Kirby’s” in honor of Cary Grant and Jane Fonda, or the “Touchdowns” for Tom Cruise and Drew Barrymore.
If your league has some non-U.S. members, you could also consider punny plays on names like “The Lemors” for Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai or “The Petoresque” for Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan. With a little creativity and research, you can easily come up with a fun, unique team name that everyone will love.
Twist on Your Favorite Baseball Player’s Name
You could try twisting the name of your favorite baseball player. For example, you could use a combination of two different names, such as “Hankuba” for Hank Aaron and Tsubasa Nakamura.
If your favorite player is a pitching phenom, you might try adding a “K” to the last name for “Kingfield”. Or, if your favorite player is from an older era, you could use a combination of their name and the name of a current player like “KirkeSnider” for Kirk Gibson and Hunter Pence.
If you really want to get creative, you could swap out the player’s last name with the name of a sports stadium, like “FenwayCanseco” for Jose Canseco. And no matter who your favorite player is, you can always add a descriptive adjective like “Ruthless Ruth” or “Mighty Mays”.
Involve Your Favorite Food
If your fantasy baseball team is in need of a creative and quirky team name, why not involve your favorite food? Whether it’s pizza, tacos, or something more exotic, the possibilities are endless. You could name your team “Dough Boys”, “Batter Up Burritos”, or “The Flying Fish Tacos”.
For something truly unique, you could combine elements from two cultures and call your team “Fried Omurice Rollers”, or get creative and combine two food favorites in one name like “Slider Sushi Samurais”. No matter what type of food inspires you, by involving it in your team name you can have a memorable and unique spin on the typical team name.
