How to use this page
Generate twelve, vote with dots — three per person — and take the top three to a runoff. Say each finalist in the room where it will live: the meeting, the lobby, the bar. The custom word field is where in-jokes become names: type the team’s word, generate, and the batch that already means something wins the vote almost every time.
The conference-room test
A work team name gets said in front of clients and read in a steering deck. It must be clever at room volume: “The Compile Crew” works for engineers; “Code Warriors” does not. Generate, then say each name in your status meeting voice — the ones that do not embarrass survive.
Department dials
Type the department (“finance”, “support”, “design”) into the custom field and the batch leans trade-specific: “The Reconciliation Nation” for finance, “First Response Squad” for support. A name that says what the team does ages better than one that says how fun the team is.
Frequently asked questions
Who picks the team name?
The team does — leadership veto only. A name imposed from above gets used ironically, which is worse than none.
