Do Nots when picking a Clan Name
Posted by Pandy on November 10th, 2009 | 0 comments
The Clan Name after all sets the tone for the identity of the whole clan. A bad name leaves people wondering what you do, and doesn’t always appear professional. The goal is to come up with something that is: easy to read, easily spelled, is short and sweet, and rolls off the tongue.
- Do not use made up words. No one is going to be able to remember your Clan if it has a made up word in it’s name. This will drive possible members away simply because they can’t spell it.
- Do not make up a acronym, then fill the letters with words. You want something that’s going to make sense when someone tries to say it.
- Do not make your Clan’s name too long… Simply, No One Will Remember It.
- Do not restrict your name to a game. You need to be able to switch to a different game in the event of a newer, or better game coming your way.
The best Clan names I’ve stumbled upon were simple, short and sweet and easy to remember. Lotus Clan, Red Militia and Aussie Attack Force are prime and ideal names. Once you start your clan it’s pretty difficult to change it’s name, especially once you’ve gained some members.
