New Orleans to select from 5 possible names

One thing we all can agree on is that the new name shouldn't be the Pelicans.

Pelicans is the best one dear God

I love that they are actually considering Rougarou!

how do u pronounce rougarou

I think Benson would probably just have to name them the Sharks since Chicago already has the Bulls

No idea who thought Mosquitoes would be a good name, though.

Yeah...rather than one bug nobody likes...pick the bug even LESS liked.

Bayou Rougarou......that's actually pretty nifty. Not your typical sports name.

I like both Rougarou and swamp dogs

so when player x gets traded from one team to new orleans, are they suppose to say "I'm proud to be a mosquito" in press conf?

Rougarou sounds cool, but I feel like that'd be tough to do because it's basically a mythical creature and nobody outside of Louisiana knows what it is. I really like Swamp Dogs though.

Does it really have to be a damn animal or something? Cant people really be more creative than just associating themselves with an animal nearby?

PS: Swamp dogs is not bad I guess.

If they did open voting I'd probably just vote for mosquitos at this point. If they want to be bad, we might as well go all out with it. The mosquitos dominating the NBA would be hilarious.

it's obvius whats it going to be there just trying to let fans vote , why i have no idea . they'll tell the fans it's they Voted for the pelicans anyway .

However if there the mosquitos & there nicknamed the squits ,think of the tie in they can have Lil Jon perform a show/intro for them ." From the windows to the walls , to the sweat drips down our balls . Squit Squit Squit Squit "

That's part of what will make it a catchy decision.

I'm totally Team Rougarou!

I don't think Mosquitos is seriously being considered

So many good names to choose, and they pick those
.
RealGM gave some great options throughout these past months. New Orleans Blues, Crescent City(or NO) Krewe, New Orleans Spirit, New Orleans Angels (because of the Saints), New Orleans (or Louisiana) Cajuns...
.
But Pelicans? Mosquitoes? SWAMP DOGS? Are you kidding me?

Which name would you prefer?
