What makes a good trivia team name

At a pub quiz the team name is read out loud every round, so it is your one chance to win the room before you win the points. The best names are puns on knowledge, quizzes or what is on the table, and they are short enough for the host to say in one breath. Pick a name from the 100+ below, or type what your team has in common, your jobs, your drink, the round you always lose, and the generator writes names from it.

5 tips for naming a trivia team

  1. Pun on a famous name

    The classic formula swaps a word in a known title for quiz, trivia or know: Les Quizerables, Agatha Quiztie. The host gets it instantly.

  2. Use what your team shares

    A team of nurses, teachers or engineers has jokes nobody else can make. Those names get the loudest laugh from the regulars.

  3. Keep it sayable

    If the host has to read it twice, the joke dies. Two to five words, no spelling tricks that only work on paper.

  4. Know the room

    Rude names are a pub quiz tradition, but family venues and work events are not the place. Check the house rules before you write it on the sheet.

  5. Change it every week

    Many regulars keep a running gag and change the name weekly, often to tease another team or the host. It keeps the scoreboard fun to read.
