Poll: Team name change, if not Bullets?

Just wondering what the numbers for people who want the Wizards to change the team nickname, as well as whether they prefer for the name "Bullets" to return?... if you have any suggestions post them and I'll add it to the poll.

If Bob Johnson was allowed to name his team the Bobcats, I think Leonis should be able to change us to the "Teddy Bears". Even makes a vague presidential reference - the first Teddy Bears were named after Teddy Roosevelt.

its bullets or bust. No point in changing it to a different team name other than the Bullets

They were the Baltimore Bullets before being the Capitol Bullets and Washington Bullets.
Might as well stick with Washington Wizards. Sounds catchy and has name recognition due to MJ and Gil.
I prefer the Bullets, but that ship has sailed IMO.
Wall's Wizards has a nice ring to it, and will hopefully be contending for rings in a few years.

It'll be the Washington Monuments if the team ever changes names. TL is all about the word monument as he changed WS&E to Monumental Sports and Entertainment.

It slightly ruins the poll to include "Bullets", I think. That's obviously going to win, but it's not going to be brought back, at least not any time soon.

As far as I'm concerned it's either Bullets or just stick with the Wizards moniker. I have yet to have heard an alternative that I cared for.

I've always didn't understand the change from Bullets, but if not the Bullets I like the big retro change and go with Zephyrs. Now that is a name and maybe insignia I could tatted on my boddy.

The Washington Boners
We shoot
We score
We are hard
We won't bend
We can penetrate
We are long
And you can't cover us.
And we have that huge monument as our symbol.

How about THE WASHINGTON LUXURY CONDOS?
Because that is what this city has rapidly been turning into for the past 10 years.
or
How about THE WASHINGTON MARSHMALLOWS?
Because the majority of the recent new residents to this city have been white and very soft.

The WASHINGTON FOLGERS CRYSTALS...
...because many of the older residents are black and bitter?

Believe it or not I am not Black.
I am a 100% native though.
But since you want to bring race into this now..
How about we name the team...
THE WASHINGTON NASAL VOICERS?
THE WASHINGTON INFLATED RENT PAYERS?
THE WASHINGTON I-POD/I-PHONE SNATCH ROBERRY VICTIMS?
THE WASHINGTON AVOID EYE CONTACT WITH MINORITY YOUTHS WHILE WALKING DOWN THE STREET?
or my personal favorite...
THE WASHINGTON PASTY ORGANIC EATERS?

How about a name everyone is familiar with, and also strangely appropriate?
