I like my team name- The Toronto Thieves

I created the New Orleans Knights, it sounded like a good name until I looked at it and realized that New Orleans is a southern city and a name like the Knights wouldn't work too well there.

Actually, here in Minnesota, we see Vulcans quite a bit. For the annual Winter Carnival in St. Paul, the overriding theme each year is Winter (led by King Boreas) against the coming spring (led by the leader of the Vulcans, Volcannus Rex). There's never really a battle, but at the end of the carnival the vulcans unseat King Boreas and thus end the winter fun.

In my fictional Universal Baseball Association, I think the best names I have are from my minor league teams, where one can be more tongue-in-cheek:

*Manheim Steamrollers, AA team of the Hollywood Stars (I love Chip Davis' musical talent with this group)
*Quincy Emmies, A team of the Albuquerque Keystones (in honor of Jack Klugman's old coroner show)
*Wichita Ozmen, AAA team of the Dayton Dragons (in honor of Dorothy, Toto and the gang)
*Dayton Grits, A team of the same Dragon club (from an article called "Cutthroat Baseball" on four guys who played APBA)
*Waikiki Ten-hangers, A team of the Hollywood Stars (and the only minor league team that has no one who wants to climb to AA!)
*Montgomery Moonshiners, one of my 16 UBA parent clubs
*Maynard (MA) Moonshiners, the A team of the above 'Shiners
*Augusta Muckdogs, AA team of the 'Shiners
*Astoria River Rats, AAA team of the New Jersey Highlanders
*Indian Neck Injuns, A team of the Highlanders
*El Dorado Golddiggers, A team of the New Orleans Blues
*Macon Whoopies, AAA team of the Oklahoma Haymakers (a name very close to the that of the town's minor league hockey team, I notice)
*Vinton (LA) Hybrids, AA team of the Haymakers (and another team from that Cutthroat Baseball article)
*San Juan Peppers, AAA team of the Portland Pioneers
*Saskatoon Susquatch, AA team of the Pioneers
*Birdsboro (PA) Buzzards, A team of the Seattle Bridegrooms
*Staten Island Stogies, another of my 16 parent clubs in the UBA
*Worcester Wombats, A team of the Haymakers
*Tuscaloosa Hounddogs, AA team of the Washington Federals

I use the name Philadelphia Federals in my solo fictional league, but of the 3 you gave I kind of like the Liberty the best.
