I think some expression having the word Spears would sound cool. Flying Spears. Or any other metaphor to qualify a Marlin (your first pick after all). Could you go as far as The Predators? If it&amp;#39;s what the kids like about Marlin, their ability to chase and get other fishes, then why not. If you could find such a name, that makes your logo still 100% relevant, it becomes even more relevant as it adds up to the team name. The two together (name and logo) makes everything crystal clear.

Bluefish would also be awesome. So would these Latin words.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Need Help In Choosing Team Name</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/143396?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 02 May 2010 06:55:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:45236ee3-dc09-477e-ab20-e28a8cac5667</guid><dc:creator>Elaine Krugman</dc:creator><description>Forget the marlin on the wall and use my husband&amp;#39;s nickname for me, &amp;quot;Aqua Dog&amp;quot;. :D  OK, forget it; it&amp;#39;s an inside joke and I don&amp;#39;t mind at all being called a &amp;quot;dog&amp;quot;!

Family Istiophoridae

    * Genus Istiophorus
          o Istiophorus albicans — Atlantic Sailfish
          o Istiophorus platypterus — Indo-Pacific Sailfish
    * Genus Makaira
          o Makaira indica — Black Marlin
          o Makaira mazara — Indo-Pacific Blue Marlin
          o Makaira nigricans — Atlantic Blue Marlin
    * Genus Tetrapturus
          o Tetrapturus albidus — Atlantic White Marlin
          o Tetrapturus angustirostris — Shortbill Spearfish
          o Tetrapturus audax — Striped Marlin
          o Tetrapturus belone — Mediterranean Spearfish
          o Tetrapturus georgii — Roundscale Spearfish
          o Tetrapturus pfluegeri — Longbill Spearfish

I guarantee that none of those names are taken in your area.

One of the local high schools is nicknamed the &amp;quot;Green Wave&amp;quot;.
