Choosing a name
isn’t fun and games

The Trailblazers, Lakers,
Raiders, Mets, and Dodgers.
Where do all of the profes
sional sports teams get their
names?
Recently, yours truly was
forced to deal with this pro
blem. A couple of weeks ago I
organized an intramural soft-
ball team throughout The Print
staff. We had all of the
necessary signatures, but we still
needed the name.
I wanted to let the gang pick a
name, but the first one we
chose, a simple trademark
known well throughout the
staff, was rejected by our ad
viser.
, I wanted us to pick a name
that would make the team pro
ud to be taking the field against
our opponents. This is
something that the whole team
would be telling their grand
children about years from now.
“Yeah Johnny, before your
father was bom I was an
athlete.”
Just before the deadline we
came up with one. It came from
News Editor Heleen Veenstra,
who is a native of Holland. The
Nieuws (pronounced nuws) is
the Dutch word for news. We
all thought it was clever, but we
procrastinated too long in selec
ting the name and sending it in
to the intramural director,
therefore, the team now goes by
“The Print.”
When the city of Portland
was in the process of selecting
the name for their new National
Basketball Association team,
many ideas were given, in
cluding the name “Chuckers”
described as a team who
“chucks” the ball into tjic
basket.
There are four new teams that
will have to come up with
names. April 22 the NBA an
nounced that within the next
three seasons there will be teams
in Charlotte, North Carolina;
Minneapolis, Minnesota;
Miami, Florida; and Orlando,
Florida. Tentative names are
Charlotte Spirit, Minnesota
Timberwolves, Miami Heat,
and Orlando Magic.
Names are often taken for
granted, what was it that
William Shakespeare said,
“...that which we call a rose by
any other name would smell as
sweet.” Personally I think Bill
summed it up well.
It’s not just sports teams who
need names. They are
everywhere: stores, states,
cities, etc. Who has come up
with all of these?
It’s a question I’m afraid I do
not have the power to answer, I
had enough trouble picking a
name for The Print’s intramural
softball team.

Gentlemen:
We read with interest Chris Curran's recent article concerning the
Dome. We represent the Rev. Jimmie DeepPockets of the Faith and
Hope Church of East Los Angeles. As you may also be aware, the
Rev. is the head of PTD (Praise the Dome) Network. The Rev.
DeepPockets is seeking a location for his annual "Bring 'em to the
Water" and "Fill the Plate" revival meetings during the second or
third week of January, 1988.
We also represent Billie Sol Estes and Mr. Estes is looking for a
facility such as your Dome for a week-long sales seminar. Mr.
Estes has offered to find additional investors for you should you
like to make the Dome a public-private partnership and avoid the
problems of unrelated business income.
We'll look forward to working with you on thése matters and I
would ask Chris Curran to keep on writing as he surely has a
career in journalism.
Sincerely
Mark P. O'Donnell
