It seems so fitting that Watts defers to serendipity for names. For some reason, it all makes me think of Bobbuttons. I'll have to look into just why. Maybe it's because I've always found both of their posting styles, hence them, interesting. Thanks for that.
I struggle often with names, and with league names very rarely, though I did have an occasion recently. I resolved to name it after its intention. Why was it there, and what did it have to prove? What significance could it hold? Dictionaries, Roget's, etymological research, a trip two or three into the Oxford English histories, and I'd settle on one. Eventually. I've been with the umbrella league, the Covenant, since version 6 and 6.5 so the few changes I've made have been like a big Jenga game, wondering when it would all collapse. It did. And I had to found the Quondam League, where teams that once were could rival for attention and the right to be again. It's a loathsome process. Then add cities and team names and ..... I should never sleep.
