How To Create Your Own Team Name

1. Start with your team:

Think about who’s actually on your team. Are you loud or laid-back? Competitive or just there for the drinks? Shared interests, inside jokes, professions, or personalities can all spark a name that feels special and unique to you. 

2. Lean into pop culture:

Movies, TV shows, music, celebrities, memes, and viral moments make great inspiration. Keeping things relevant and topical is extremely witty and can get a good laugh from other teams. 

3. Use your surroundings:

Look around the room or venue. The pub name, the drinks you’re ordering, the quiz host, or even something that just happened five minutes ago can lead to a surprisingly good name.

4. Borrow from the questions:

Early quiz questions can be a great place to create a quiz name that is relevant to the actual quiz you're ding. A wrong answer, a niche topic, or something oddly specific can quickly become an in-joke and a strong team name by the next round.

5. Play with language:

Puns, wordplay, double meanings, and altered phrases are quiz-night classics for a reason. Combine unexpected words to create something original and entertaining.

6. Don't put too much pressure on it:

A name is just a name! Coming up with something completely original isn't always going to happen. There's no shame in taking inspiration from or using one of the quiz team names listed below.
