    Yes, those are dumb names. The others aren't.

    My guess is this....

    Pelicans because of sweep

    Sounders because of Timber fan

    Thunder because of Blazer fan

    Brewers because Cub fan

    Nope. Haven't liked the Pelicans name since they made the change (I actually like the team).

    Don't like the Sounders because it's a bit cheesy of a name. Same is true of Timbers actually *gasp*. I actually liked the name Sonics, Thunderbirds is kind of a cool name and I like the name Mariners (and I liked Pilots before that). So it has nothing to do with liking the Timbers or being a fan of Portland sports teams.

    Thunder is dumb because they should've done something like Bison (tho there is a college with that nickname so it makes sense why they didn't go with that) or Buffalo.

    Brewers is just kind of a corny name. Nothing to do with being a Cubs fan (I'm not actually).

    But nice effort though, you should get a little ribbon.

    Galaxy makes sense because LA believes they are the center of the Universe.

    It wouldn't be the worst, but it's too close to the name Rockies. It would like if Portland with the Pilots name. While cool (and UP would probably not be too happy), it's too close to the Mariners name.

    Just for fun I went through a list of animals that start with P...

    I like both the Peacocks and Platypus but as other people already mentioned that would never fly.

    Portland Pandas

    Portland Piranhas

    Portland Porcupine

    Portland Polar Bears

    Portland Prawns
