    Fantasy Name

    I am joining my brother's fantasy league, and I want to impress all his co-workers with a unique and witty/clever fantasy name. I would love some suggestions. Thanks everyone!

    Sorry, I'm still trying to think of a name for my latest fantasy team...
    The Dark Knight is the best movie I've ever seen.

    I use weird old Minor League team names. Currently, I'm the Minot Why Nots (1917 Northern League). Why not some really oddball team name like the Iola Gasbags, the Zanesville Flood Sufferers, or the Texarkana Casketmakers?

    I've heard that the most popular Fantasy Baseball Team name is "The Master Batters".

    Personally, I like to use a name that works with my last name and really personalizes the team.

    Bryn Mawr Mawrtians

    It's actually a school in Baltimore and their mascot the Mawrtians. Try saying that 5 times REALLY fast.

    I've used "Von Purple Hayes" a couple of times, but that was admittedly stolen from one of my best friends.

    You can add to that the Lebanon Pretzel Eaters, Bonham Boogers, Troy Washerwomen and one of my personal faves, the Walla Walla Walla Wallas.

    If you're after something more current events worthy may I suggest something like "Pedro's Fighting Cocks".

    Use "MadHatter Rules" - that's a good name.
