I'm working at being clever for a law school bowling team name. The best I can do is "Attractive Nuisance." Can the hive do better?
Strike Consortium?
Or just really lame and basic, Legal Eagles.

Response by poster: Hmm, I'm a fan of Frolic and Detour and Proposition 184. Also thought of "off sometimes" after looking at a different thread (because we're not very good, and everybody beats off sometimes).
I'm apparantly leaning toward involved puns.
Keep 'em coming.

Ambulance Chasers.

Not to go meta on this, but there seem to be (at least) several different approaches here: (a) merely legally referential ("ambulance chasers," "legal eagles"); (b) referencing law and bowling ("move to strike"); (c) potentially amusing team names but bearing no relation to law or bowling ("off sometimes"). I had assumed you wanted (b), at which "move to strike" rules, but . . . you may want to clarify. The hive needs to know what kind of honey you want.

You could also combine the last names of the players and make it sound like the name of a law firm

Whatever your team name turns out to be, I suggest "check out these racks!" for your team motto.

I hope it's not too offtopic to say that I actually really like "Attractive Nuisance", which struck me as funny and creative. That it doesn't have anything to do with bowling is part of its charm.
