I like Prieteni for a team name, too.

But I'm not going to learn Romanian this year. So many languages on my plate already. :)

So if we take a vote, I'd for for prieteni, nebunie, or přátelé (in that order). Should we vote?

I like friends and I've always been a little mad, so either of the first two is fine. I lean more towards nebunie though; it has one less letter and I'm on two teams, so the fewer letters the better. I think we should avoid přátelé so nobody has troubles reading funny letters. Also I think it's not just the reading of the letters that is the problem, but people can't always type them and have to use copy-paste to refer to a team. (That's what I just did. I suppose I have those letters somewhere, but copy-paste was easier than looking for them.)

@Brun Ugle, you should learn Polish - it is awesome!



Funny... That's what the Russian team told me about Russian :-) And those Czech people seem to think Czech is pretty cool. And the Croatian team seem to like Croatian.....

My vote is nebunie, přátelé, prieteni. I'm factoring in the issue with diacritics for forum members.

Since some people have mentioned mad and madness, how about Lud (crazy in Croatian)?

Or unless we're in a hurry to decide we could come up with a name that means something in
all Slavic languages. It could either mean the same thing or better yet be false friends
so there's a twist to it.

I am in three teams so less than 7 letters is preferred.
