Incidentally, I've found that the nicknames.txt file located in the database folder is a pretty good source for nickname ideas. Plus, they're alphabetical, so if you want to use alliterations, it's pretty easy to find good combinations.

Indianapolis Indians

They date back to 1902! and are the second-oldest minor league franchise in American professional baseball.
