Picking a name for your pool team should be just as fun as playing the game. Whether you’re joining a league, entering a tournament, or just showing off at your local bar, the right name makes everything better. It gives your team personality. It makes people laugh. And honestly, it gives your opponents something to remember especially when you win. Or lose. Either way.
The best pool names are clever, a little silly, and clean enough for official play (no potty words sorry, rebels). You can go with a funny joke, a pun, or even something inspired by your favorite TV show or band. And if you’re playing doubles, there’s a name for that too.
