As far as a team name, I favor some variation of "friends". I liked the Czech version better than the Romanian
one, although I would also like to suggest "Przyjaciele". I'm guessing "Amigos" sounds too cliché. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

No, but we are a Slavic/Romance team. I'd prefer a Slavic language anyway, though! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The Czech version looks surprisingly pretty so far I like Super Přátelé the best.
Croatian is my first Slavic language and I'm really enjoying seeing how similar the word for friends is in all the languages. Can someone please post it all the other Slavic languages? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Super Přátelé sounds nice but has some disadvantages in my opinion. It can't be written
without changing the keyboard settings / using a special add-on / copying and pasting etc. (but I can live with that, copy & paste should be just fine and is doable by those from other teams as well; and diacritics are nice as such). More importantly though, it is pretty long (whereas the limit for the number of characters in thread titles is very low). And it doesn't sound very Romance, but combining the Slavic and Romance aspect in the name may be hard anyway. Some of my ideas (but I'm not very good with clever names, titles etc. - I definitely lack this type of creativity. OK, you've been warned :)): - something with nasal vowels... I know they exist only in some of our languages, and I am biased as a Polish speaker who learns French ;), but I still find that an interesting shared feature (apart from how different these vowels are... but that's not the right time and place for linguistic discussions). - "hola" - which is 'hello' in Spanish but is also used in Polish (and maybe other Slavic languages) as an exclamation (a slightly negative one, though, like before warning someone/forbidding smething). - letter/sound "ż"/"j" is something I associate both with French, Polish and some other Slavic languages... but I guess that's has been used this year, hasn't it? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

yeah, a pun on the fact that "ja" seems to mean something in every single language:D
I think Romanian is the one with the best choice of words that sound both Romance and Slavic at the same time. Any other suggestions from that wiki page? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hadn't thought about that. So I guess we need a really short name since most of us are on 2-3 teams. 1 person has voted this message useful |
