« on: April 11, 2010, 10:17:54 PM »
I'm looking to rename my squad to something more interesting. What are some squad names I could use. Historical ones mostly. My squad is still deciding what to name it then we'll vote. I also thought this post would help for the future and other squads looking to rename there squad.

Why are you asking US?

It's YOUR squadron. You have to pick something YOU like, and is important to YOU.

Asking US what YOU should be called is silly, might as well ask what to name your webpage, or what password to put on your e-mail account, etc.

It's personal. You have to pick it. If you don't have any one unit that's personally interesting to you, why force it to be something you have no knowledge or compassion for?

Well you know 90 or more ides from 90 squaddies terms to be difficult. We would have the leaders decide but we have a rule we vote stuff together as a squadron so it's kinda hard. That being said I did this.

If you notice, most of the long running squads with historical names tend to fly birds that their historical namesakes flew.

Lots, and I mean lots of history based squads have come and gone with the name being used and reused again.  From what I can tell the problem becomes they don't really have the interest in the history.

There are also lots of long time squads with non-historical names that work because their interest is different and they fly all kinds of birds.

As folks have mentioned, it has to be what fits for you

If you got 90 folks, you ask THEM what you should be called. At least they have a vested interest. Use your squad forum.

Or you, as the leader, make a decision.

You don't ask the general public. We, frankly, couldn't care less, and I mean that in the most un-insulting way.  :angel:

It is YOUR squad, YOU decide, dont vote.  If they dont like the name fragg'em.  You have 90 members, Let'em squeek. By the way it is "Their" not "There",  There implies a place, not a group of people. Dah Duh Dah.  Again in the most uninsulting way  :angel: Hadn't thought of that krusty thanks.

With your attitude, I would be very surprised you'd get any help.  People were trying to help you by saying that you're the CO and it should be your decision but you're too young and dumb to listen to good advice.
