    That would be an awkward name when it actually does happen.

    Someone already mentioned Pit Bulls. I didn't mention Penguins or Panthers because those are other pro team names. Pythons kind of went with the Anaconda discussion.

    I thought you were gonna go the other way.

    Like, 'I don't know, the way some of my friends talk of their ex wives you would believe Ogres are real.'

    The last 3 digits of my ex's phone number is 666. No joke.

    You be the judge.

    There's already been Forest Dragons here and I started hearing people hated that name after they were gone.

    I have a feeling they are going to come up with something that's not an animal.

    Probably something more esoteric, or I don't want to say nebulous, but something less tangible than animals and fairy tale creatures.

    Something water or river related would be something to think about.

    OTOH: They are going to need to grow their fan base, which I would think would include a heavy dose of appealing to children to both get their parents out to the park and to develop them as future ticket holders.

    For marketing, how might they perhaps compete with or interest young fans of computer/on-line/video games?
