My favourites are Táin, Lugh (or Lugus), and Menhir.

I suggest picking one of the shorter names since there is a character limit to the log titles and some people are on more than one team.

If we're trying to find something pan-Celtic, I like Lugus (Lugh/Lleu), but since it's not as recognizable, I
would advocate for us calling ourselves a clan instead of a team. They're the same number of letters, but one is distinctly more Celtic in flavor. "Lugus is the catch-all deity, the god of all crafts, variously associated with light, trade, craftsmanship, divine rule and trickery." from http://www.celtnet.org.uk/gods_l/lugus.html He also has a bonus of being associated with shoe-making and if you consider language learning a journey, 'shoes' are your best tool. :) Of course, there is also the triskell, but it's longer so less desirable. If character length were not an issue, I'd suggest Ffin fab Coel/Fin mac Cool a Welsh/Irish hero whose name I like: http://www.celtnet.org.uk/gods_ff/ffin.html tl;dr: I like the Lugus Clan. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sounds good to me! Clan Lugus that is (I think it sounds better with Clan proceeding the name, that's how it is in Gaelic e.g. Clann Uí Dhomhnaill). TAC 2013- Celtic Clan Lugus? Edited by liammcg on 14 December 2012 at 7:20pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That name is making me think "I wonder whether I have a free language slot somewhere",
but alas, I don't. Good luck to you all! Jack 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am posting this on the main sign-up thread and on all team logs.
This is a special announcement for all teams, certain ones more than others: -The purpose of TAC teams is to support, help and encourage each other. “All for one and one for all.” That means reading each other’s logs and commenting them where appropriate. It also means no more bickering. - It the future all teams will be closed upon reaching 15 members, and new teams will be formed for those languages. Should a new team only attract a few members (about 5-7 depending on the team members prior TAC experience) by the sign-up deadline (31. January 2013), they will be merged with the original team. If in the course of the year, the teams lose half their members, they may also choose to merge. Any team that already has more than 15 members will not be divided, but they will not be allowed to add new members. - Each team is to choose a team leader by Tuesday, 18 December. Inform me of your choice by then. The leader must have prior TAC experience unless there is no such person on the team. The leader is to keep me up-to-date regarding their team. - I have created a French team and a Spanish team. Anyone studying those languages may choose to join them if they wish. The original Romance teams will remain in existence for those who are studying other Romance languages or who are interested in multiple languages. Note that even if you are only studying French or Spanish you may choose to be on a Romance team rather than a single language team. If there is enough interest for an Italian, Portuguese or Romanian team, I will create one. However, I would like those who may be interested in such a team to gather at least 5 team members before asking me to form the team. I am sorry to have to make these additional rules, however it is obvious that certain teams are already on the verge of falling apart and a number of more experienced TAC members have noticed this and sent me PM’s requesting that I do something. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I like Clan Lugus, too. I would ask Teango to be our leader as he has got the most experience in TAC'ing, I think.
