Thought maybe some of you here could help me out with a slight problem. Seems our local athletic club is starting a youth swim team but we can't seem to find a name. They used to be called the Marlins as at the end of the pool we have a huge Marlin on the wall for our mascot but when the club shut down the team a long time ago another local team grabbed the name and we cannot use it anymore.
We still want to use the Marlin as our logo but does anyone have any ideas as to a cool name that still represents a Marlin fish? Open to suggestions and if I like any of them I will tell the coach on Monday.
Thanks.
