All the way back in S26 for my first player’s ISFL draft, I posted a media renaming all draftees using name generators. For that media, I associated each of the 14 ISFL teams to one of four chosen groups: Hobbits, Strippers, Pirates, or Rappers. Then I gave each draftee a new name according to one of the names generated when their player name was input into a random name generator for their team’s group.
With my second player having just gone through the S40 ISFL draft (and with my ISFL bank account looking shockingly low), I have decided to bring back the name generator tradition! This time, I took a slightly different approach. First, I found a single name generator that had many different groups of fantasy creatures. From the list of available creatures, I did a quick association between team and creature (not allowing for repeats). Then, I took each player and generated suggestions for their new fantasy creature name based on the team that drafted them. I just picked whichever one from the list tickled me and, sometimes, when there weren't many 'good' options, I just made one up based on the trend I was seeing in the names generated for that creature. So... it's not systematic and probably not reproducible. Live with it.
Since each team had a different creature, I present the results by team and also in draft order. Enjoy!
Association of Teams to Fantasy Creatures
Here I assign each of the 14 ISFL teams to one of the fantasy creatures available in the chosen name generator. I give word associations or one sentence reasons for each assignment, but I didn’t give this very much thought… So here we go:
Arizona Outlaws – trolls – because like bandits they often hide under bridges to waylay unsuspecting travelers along the road
Austin Copperheads – goblins – goblins can be small and green and I could see them ambushing from a hole, just like a copperhead snake
Baltimore Hawks – imps – flying creatures
Berlin Fire Salamanders – dragons – literal fire lizards
Chicago Butchers – orcs – orcs use all manner of shiny weapons, like cleavers
Colorado Yeti – yeti – a perfect, yet totally irrelevant association since the Yeti had no picks this draft…
Honolulu Hahalua – angels – rays of sunlight herald the coming of angels; rays are like the angels of the ocean? something like that…
New Orleans Second Line – witches/wizards – voodoo magic
New York Silverbacks – elves – dwellers of the forest (yes, I know that gorillas don’t live in the trees like other monkeys)
Orange County Otters – pixies – otters are just so cute and playful, just like a pixie
Cape Town Crash – unicorns – big, purple, and having a single horn… duh
Sarasota Sailfish – sea monsters – big fish in the ocean
San Jose Sabercats – werewolves – cats are kind of like dogs, which are kind of like wolves
Yellowknife Wraiths – vampires – spooky, dark, nightcrawlers
