This is the thread for choosing TAC team names. Please discuss the options here and create external polls on sites like easypolls.net if needed.
Note: the general tendency is to use shorter names, of 3-4 characters. Try to stay within that limit. However, if there's a strong desire for a longer team name (and no objections), an exception can be made :-) Non-members are allowed to contribute with ideas, but shouldn't participate in the voting. Please don't start a team thread for this purpose, discuss here or by PM if you realllly need to. edit: seems like I was the only one bothered by this. Team threads are being started. (please don't start it if you can't maintain it/are not the team leader!) When any of the team names are confirmed, they will be listed in this post.

Another title for Team ONE could be Team NEW. Via Diva also suggested Team STARt (or was it supposed to be START? I like the lowercase t hehe). More ideas are also obviously welcome.

So I'm totally in favor of Team STARt
EDIT: I just realized I should elaborate. For one thing, I think Team ONE sounds too limiting to your first time learning a language. STARt incorporates both the reason for the group for existing (That is, a START to learning languages), and also doesn't exclude older/more experienced veterans.

Well, concerning the "traditional" teams, especially those I seriously would like to join:
There is the Iberia idea going on. Sounds awesome. However, won't it be a bit crowded? French. Any special ideas? I think there could be a purely French team. Names? What about Asterix? Yeah, it is long. The Scandinavian team, named Viking in 2013. Will it keep the name? What else can we find? ikea is only swedish related, even though it became an important symbol. Pipi after the Lindgren's hero is short. What about Havfrue, which appears to be mermaid in Danish (says the babla dictionary)? Or Valhalla! Yes, all are too long. But epic! German! I would really love to be in a team dedicated to German. Possible name ideas: Bier, Spaß, hmmmmmm, running out of ideas. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

There's a host of cultural references we could use for a possible Korean team. Last year TheRealCZ suggested team Gumiho (구미호), which is a nine-taled fox from Korean folk lore that is also fairly prominent in pop culture. I really liked the name, but it didn't seem to fit so well for an Asian team - for a Korean team it would be perfect.
STARt is pretty cool, if you keep the lower-case t. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Unless desired by others, I have no problem with keeping the existing names for teams that I'm currently on. Continuity is fine with me. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
