Another team is “The Revenge Society” and when the host says their name, they reply “Revenge!” We’d like something along those lines, if possible, unless a regular name blows us away.

Let’s open this up to names that \*\*aren’t \*\*call-and-response. None of those are doing it for us. Don’t feel bad - as I recall, we went through 60 or so names for the last league. ---

Update: We played that league as “We’ve Got Brains”, which meant that when our name was called, we responded “Braaaaains!”. We finished 4th. We then played the next league as “Ichabod Cranium” and finished 3rd. For the next league which starts 1/8, we are looking for another name, possibly head or brain-related. The call-and response part is not necessary. Any suggestions would be appreciated, but they have to compete with the following names already under consideration: Lady Cerebellum Pinky & The Brain Hypothalamus Rex Mothers Against Dihydrogen Monoxide Smarter Than The Average Bear Howard Sternum ---
