I like the turkish team's name, but we could play around we some names to see how they sound.
How about team hoş? Team aşk (for the language)? Team ilim? Team zeki? Team dil? Team gül? Like the roses on their miniatures? Anyway, enough! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The names with unusual characters look informative, exotic and beautiful.
But, since they are not keyboard-supported (a few may be, but you get my drift), they can be hard to write. My Arabic team this year is called Alef. If it had been called أ (the "real" alif), it would have been tiresome to write. And it's just one character. Normally I wouldn't bring this up, but since we're being picky... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I will join the Greek team, if there is one (seems to be only me so far over in the sign-up thread, apart from the Godmother). I therefore take the opportunity to launch in before anyone else with suggestions for Greek Team names. The Sparta team never really got into the fight this year, for various reasons, so I would suggest something else for 2014. Possible ideas at this stage are:
Argonautes (on a quest to find the Golden Fleece - fluency in Greek) Olympians (self-explanatory) Team Athena (Athena being the goddess of reason, intelligent activity, arts and literature, and probably the origin of the capital Athen's name) Edited by Ogrim on 06 December 2013 at 3:53pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

*The main exception is probably the learners of Mandarin and Japanese who've decided to focus solely on the speaking. But if there's an alphabet, most do learn it. Ogrim, the names are kinda long :/ 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Is there an idea for a rarer languages team being tossed around?

Why shouldn't the team names be discussed by the teams themselves? This thread here is bound to become an utter mess by January.
Choosing a name is the first task of the team and creates some team spirit from the beginning. I don't know why other people should meddle in this. And what's it with "short names only"? I know the space for log titles is limited, but most people won't join three teams anyway, so they will have enough space left.

Just throwing out a few ideas for Team Dutch:
Team Kikker (from 'ons kleine kikkerlandje', how some people nickname the Netherlands) Team Kaas Team Gezellig Team Speculaas Team Pepernoot Team Vlaai Team Wim-Lex (patriotic?) Team Oranje As you can see, I was hungry... 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||
