Help me come up with a trivia team name for four Floridians
Our trivia team is competing for the first time in about two hours (7pm EST on 18 Sept 2024). We are four native Floridians (to be clear: we are none of us Native Americans. We are all just Florida-born and raised). We would love a team name that reflects that fact, but we're all striking out, which maybe doesn't bode well for our chances of winning tonight, but whatever. Do y'all have any amazing suggestions??

What's more trivial than trivia? Quadrivia, right? So... Four-idians. IV-idians? Four-ida (like flo-rida)?

The Skinks!
"Clinton Tyree, a.k.a. Skink, is a fictional character who has appeared in several novels by Carl Hiaasen, beginning with Double Whammy in 1987. He is a former governor of Florida who suddenly abandoned his office to live in the wilderness, most often the Everglades and, later, the Florida Keys. Tyree is depicted as a skilled outdoorsman, a partaker of roadkill cuisine, and a fierce and slightly unhinged opponent of sprawl and overdevelopment in the state"

Piggybacking on theora55’s excellent suggestion, what about “Flight of the TriviGators”?

119.035s
Chapter 119
These are based off of the "sunshine laws" that give Florida it's unique national flavor. 119.035 is specifically for the "officers" which I guess seems apt.
