Creativity needed: Name the team

<p>My daughter is in the very early stages of planning a fundraiser for Nothing But Nets ( <a href=“http://nothingbutnets.net%5B/url%5D”>http://nothingbutnets.net</a> ) and asked me to help with naming her “team.” I thought I’d throw this out to the CC crowd…if it helps, my daughter attends Otterbein College, home of the Cardinals. If my daughter ends up using a CC-suggested name, I’ll donate the funds for the purchase of net on behalf of the “winner.” Have fun…</p>

<p>Cardinals’ Nest for Nets</p>

<p>Cardinets</p>

<p>alternate spelling (for women’s team): Cardinettes</p>

<p>Cardinal’s Network</p>

<p>Okay, here are some that are less traditional:</p>

<p>Fishnets (they are fishing for nets, and could wear fishnets as their “uniform”)</p>

<p>Buzzbombs (because the nets are in opposition to the mosquitoes)</p>

<p>Another idea:</p>

<p>Otterbein Outdoes Malaria
or
Otterbein Ousts Malaria</p>

<p>Cardinals Care for Nets</p>

<p>I claim no credit, but DD’s school did a similar fundraiser cleverly dubbed “Veto the 'Squito”</p>

<p>Otterbein Obliterates Malaria </p>

<p>(that “Veto the 'Squito” is very hard to beat…quite clever!)</p>

<p>Otternets :cool:</p>

<p>Nuts for Nets
Nuts About Nets
Nets to you</p>

<p>Keep those suggestions coming; I’m enjoying them all!</p>

<p>The “Veto the 'Squito” campaign is one originally organized through AID (Americans for Informed Democracy), but my daughter is going with Nothing But Nets because she’s a United Methodist at a United Methodist college, and the church is one of the program supporters. I think she also likes the T-shirts better :wink: …she’s intending to buy a “Buzzkill” t-shirt after she’s purchased her third quarter books.</p>

<p>Adding my own (after being inspired by all of you): 'Beinets</p>

<p>Netta the Insecta</p>

<p>Muzzle the Mozzies</p>

<p>Not a “knock your socks off” pun, as the ones I have enjoyed from the rest of you, but since the college team is (are?) the Cardinals, how about something straightforward, like the Feathers?</p>

<p>The Mosquito Nets</p>

<p>since the goal is to wipe out malaria</p>

<p>The NOsquitoes</p>

<p>Ladies and Gentlemen, now taking the court, from Otterbein College, home of the Cardinals, the Otterbein Skeetereaters!</p>

<p>No, how bout the Skeetbusters?</p>

<p>btw, my niece went to Kenya last month and contracted malaria - fortunately a mild case but scary anyway</p>

<p>^^ Oh I like the Skeetereaters NJres. You may have the winner there!</p>

<p>yeah skeetereaters works for me but don’t I deserve honorable mention for introducing the winged pests to the thinktank?</p>
