The coolest names for a club

[Thriller]

Humm let´s see.
1-Your favorite name of an already existing club.
2-If you were going to start a football club, which name whould you like for your club (optional).
(Opinions only for the names)

I like these ones:
Real Madrid, River Plate, Chicago Fire, Metrostars, The Strongest, America, America de Cali, Boca Juniors, Santos, Fénix, Manchester United, Lokomotiv, Juventus...

[skipshady]

I think a lot of people like Eleven Men In Flight (Swaziland). I'm partial to Newell's Old Boys (Argentina).

[ruudboy]

Earthquakes

Galaxy =Galaxatives

[Red Star]

I actually keep a running list of my favorites.
Here are some of the highlights.

Hearts of Oak, Ghana
Jeanne d'Arc, Senegal
AFC Leopards, Kenya
Simba SC, Tanzania
Pharoahs, Egypt (NT)
Squirrels, Benin

and the winner is:

Mysterious Dwarfs, Ghana.

This is the perfect youth team name, right down to the spelling. I simply love it but my daughter's U6 team won't go for it.

[JBohland]

Grasshoppers Zurich, Young Boys Berne, Colo Colo, Red Star Belgrade, Maritimo, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Hibernian, Shamrock Rovers, Arsenal, Borussia M'Gladback, P. Steelers (Korea), UNAM Pumas, any J-League team (gotta love Kashima Antlers), Chivas, Atlas, Joe Public (a personal favorite), Gymansia.

There are so many.

Get real.... what's special about Real Madrid? How many Reals are there in Spain? 5? 10?

I've always like the names Aston Villa, Flamengo, Fluminense and River Plate.

We're putting our Over-30 team into a tournament as either Buffet Killaz or FC Sausage.

I liked Wolfsburg when Wolfgang Wolf was coach...

[NEKSoccer]

Go Ahead Eagles Deventer (Holland) is my personal favorite.

[AFCA]

It's a fusion of Go Ahead and Eagles. The name itsself doesn't make any sense :D

[SoccerScout]

Empire

[comme]

I personally like Tottenham Hotspur, but then I'm biased.

Ones such as Total Network Solutions and Inter- cabletel are also good in the LoW. Jeff Stelling of Sky Sports always makes the "they'll be dancing in the streets of Total Network Solutions" joke.

[usscouse]

We used to be sponsered by "Romeo's Pizza"
and of course the wives and girlfriends (May they never meet) called us the "Aging Romeos"

[chilistrider]

I am inexplicably fond of "Torpedo-Metallurg."

[Naco]

As well as Joe Public FC, they affoer such names as Defence Force and Police

[whirlwind]

Shaktar Donetsk (Ukraine)
FC Dnepr-Transmash Mogilyov (Belarus)
Grasshoppers Zurich (Switzerland)
Connah's Quay Rovers (Wales)
KooTeePee (Finland)
SportVereiningung Unterhaching (abbrev. SpVgg)

and of course
Distillery (Northern Ireland)

[skipshady]

It's silly but I like this one: San Frecce Hiroshima

San = 3 in Japanese
Frecce = "arrow" in Italian

There's a local legend about a local warlord who taught his sons the importance of family by snapping an arrow in half, then binding three arrows together and asking them to snap them into halves.

[Baseball]

I think Leyton Orient is a cool name.

[lanman]

Shooting Stars (Nigeria)
Invincible Eleven (Liberia)

[sjjn]

Sheffield Wednesday.....

new team choice...Manhattan Traffic
