I have decided to go over to the dark side. (And I’ll thank those of you who are thinking that, as a conservative, i already have, to keep a civil tongue in your… well, a civil finger on your keyboard).

Unfortunately, I can’t go it alone. I must assemble a team of evil peers.

What should we call ourselves?

(In other words, I’m looking for names that suggest a nefarious group of evildoers, like “Legion of Doom,” but since that one’s already taken…)

Do you have a name for your lair?

I suggest “The Dark Garden Shed”. Or “The Mancave of Shadows”.

The association can get by with a generic title ie (The Four Horsemen, WWE etc).

The real sense of forboding comes from the handles/reputation of the indivdual ne’er do wells. (And at least one of you has to have a title with connotations of nobility. Something like “Bricker, Lord of the Demonspawn…”)

Really depends on your goals. White collar crime? Old school mob-style organized crime? Drug trafficking? World domination? Joker-style chaos?

You can try this random guild name generator: [Guild Name Generator / Clan Name Generator](http://www.nickyee.com/python/guildname/generator.py) (every time you refresh the page you get a new list).

Even if it does not contain a name you like it my help spark some ideas.

Oh, almost forgot that part! Acronymability is another important consideration.

If you enjoy Dwarf Fortress, you could fire up a new world and flip through randomly-generated group names. You get some gems in English AND Dwarvish, such as (to quote one example from [this thread](http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69464.0)) “The Carnal Cat-Fountains”. (Or [The Squeezing Seduction-Tentacles of Squirting](http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=68586.msg1647937#msg1647937).)
