Name our team of bankers!

June 20, 2008 9:51 AM

Help me name my sales team!

We've launched a friendly competition among various salespeople in our district, and need to come up with team names. We have been teamed across branches (I am teamed with sales people throughout the region)

I'm not very original, so I'm probing the hive mind for some ideas!

1) We're BANKERS (selling financial products in local branches)
2) Four people on the team, first name initials are E, T, L, and N.
3) It's a SURVIVOR theme, we're having "tribal councils" and the like.
4) The four of us are in branches in towns called Oakville, Milton, and Georgetown.
5) It's a professional environment, so we can't have names that are sexual, offensive, etc.

Thanks hivemind!

With the initials, they make LENT, which besides being the christian holy period, also has a financial connotation, so maybe "Money Lent" or similar?

For the survivor part, go silly with exotic-sounding fake words, like "The Iwannasellyasumthin Tribe" or similar.

If you have problems with banks, wanna keep it to yourself?

Oakville, Milton, and Georgetown? I suggest 'OMG BANKERS LOL'.

There already IS an OMG, but it has nothing to do with banking.

I kinda like the OMG theme -- how about OMG Junta? Sounds vaguely tribal.....

I suggest it in every "name my team" thread I see: I really do not think you can go wrong naming your team Dumbledore's Army.

I feel that team names should include Pirates or Ninjas. Account Ninjas works, but Pirate Bankers has a video clip. (accountants, actually, but would work. It's from Meaning of Life)

Are anagrams too nerdy? You could be Inane Suits (annuities), Gator Gems (mortgages)... or how about Yomen? (money)

Lions of Credit, The Prophets, Loan Rangers?
