We're trying to come up with naming schemes for a team that is splitting up into 3 equal but separate teams working off the same backlog. To most outsiders, we're seen as just one group. We're splitting for efficiency, each with its own manager.
Naming requirements are:
- A group of three (bonus points if it's expandable, but not required)
- No priority order (e.g. 1, 2, 3 -- 1 is better than 3)
- Has to be professional (but fun is okay!)
- Can't be lame (e.g. the three stooges)
For instance, we can be Team Red, White, and Blue. There is no priority between these names and we can be patriotic. If we wanted to expand, we can add other colors. But it's kinda basic--lame. We can do better, right?
Any thoughts?
P.S. If this belongs in another Stack Exchange site, please move it!

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

Why not let your teams choose them? Either let everyone propose and vote on a theme, or let each team vote internally on its own team name.
Give them rules you've just given us, let everyone vote, highest voted name or naming scheme wins. Obviously management can veto anything that's ridiculously inappropriate.

When my teams were given the opportunity to decide their own names the most popular (but vetoed) result was "Who", "What" and "Idunno".

I recall a story I once heard about a set of shift workers. They were able to name their shifts. The first shift was "A", the second "B", and the third was "Jerry's Kids."

We are doing this. We're looking for ideas on how to name our teams. I am an engineer on one of the teams and we've been trying for a week now to find cool names for ourselves! That's where I was hoping you guys could help out. We all decided the rules above.

I think that if you're looking for methodologies on how to choose your names it's ok; if you're looking for suggestions the question probably risks getting closed as a poll-style question, unfortunately

Where I work, teams can decide their names as long as it isn't offensive. I like this idea, since this way the names have no significant meaning (no priority etc.). Also, I suggest you tell them to find a "big team" name, so that it is easier to talk about the three teams together if necessary.

I have to ask... Three teams working one backlog? Is there focus on this backlog or subsections. IE team A works public services, team B works internal services, team C runs handles infrastructure? (With three teams in one pot unless you have someone above the team passing on marching orders, or each team specializes this could lead to two teams bumping heads)
