A good group name at school can help you stand out, stay motivated to finish your project, and maybe even earn you some bonus points for creativity or sportsmanship. Whether it’s for academic purposes or something extracurricular, a good team name can help unify your goal, boost morale, and even strengthen friendships with your classmates. Below, we list some things to consider when choosing a group name for school, and we provide a list of name ideas and examples.

How to Pick a School Group Name

To get started with choosing a name, think of why the group gathered. What’s the mission, project, or common interest? A team name for the classroom might be quite different than a team name for the football field. One might aim to sound sharp or funny, while the other might lean towards something more competitive.

Next, make sure your team name is appropriate for a school environment — it’s best to choose an appropriate name right off the bat so you don’t have to worry about being asked to change it later. On a similar note, make sure the name you choose won’t offend any of your peers, whether they’re on your team or another. Intimidation is one thing, but unsportsmanlike conduct is another. Your name should not discriminate against any race, gender, religion, nationality, or sexual orientation. Luckily, the ready-made team names on our list are inoffensive — though some may be a bit more PG-13.
