Charlotte Royals... city was named for a German princess... nickname is the "Queen City".

Charlotte Tycoons... city is a major financial and banking center... ranks third in assets in US after New York City and San Francisco.

Charlotte Hornets... longtime minor league team in the city... 1901 until 1973.

Charlotte Speedsters... NASCAR racing industry is centered in the city... 75% of the NASCAR people live in Charlotte.

Charlotte Rounders... could be a double-meaning nickname... "rounder" for car racing... cars go "round-and-round"... other meaning is for baseball... "rounders" was a forerunner of the game of baseball.
