I loved the Babylon 5 series so I use
Centauri Prime
Shadows of Z'ha'dum
G'Kar's One-eyed Poets


Got to love Buffy the Vampire Slayer so
Buffy and the Scooby-Doo's

also
Cross-Handed Hitters
Left-Handed Catchers


and as a tribute to Todd, where I heard this first

In my currently drafting Dynasty league, the Jake Peavy owner just took Eric Byrnes and announced his new team name:

My AL NFBC Auction team is always named Fat, Drunk and Stupid.
My NL NFBC Auction team is always named Team to be Named Later.

Other than that, I usually come up with something based on my team's players. Last year in the NFBC Main Event, I allowed myself to be talked out of taking Ichiro in the second round so I named the squad Ichi-no.

Two years ago 1 of my friends named his team Rollie Fingers Mustache Ride. I thought that was a great one.

I like names that are based on current events
I can't say I have some up with any great ones this year yet so here are the themes I am working on.

104 names on a list
stimulus bill (you would think that would be easy)
unsigned free agents
yankees payroll

In the mean time, I'll just use my old stand by

I thought that was Crews' boat.


When my base name was Edgar (after Captain Spalding) I tried Edgar Mevers. The embraced my Muslim brothers and went to Edgar el Kabong.


Going off of the base name of el Kabong I've used

el Kabong Hits for Jesus. It remains my favorite.


Also once had luck with Squirrel Fury. Not so much with the E-2 Brutes.

edited to include my possibilities for this year...


Merkin Stocks

Unemployed Wiretappers

Waterboarders

circling drones

Surges

nikhedonia

lacunae

They all appear to me depending upon my given level of intoxication at the time.

I've used sonofapitch as my primary team name for about 10 years or so.

My AL Only team is Buncha 4th Graders... that way if you lose to me, you got beat by a buncha 4th graders. If you beat me, you just beat up on a buncha 4th graders. Either way you're a loser.

Some good ones from leagues I play in:

Explosive Renteria - lost Renteria, traded for Pujols and became - Explosive Pujols
Keith Hernandez (oh the beautiful arrogance)

Presently we have the John Does (mascot is a deer's butt).

Bringing this thread back to life. In a new NL-only league I joined, I was temporarily assigned the team name Laddies. Well, that won't do. I've exhausted all my Babylon 5 names and wanted a new Buffy name, hence:
