  2. Flaming Sundogs, Fighting Sundogs or Fighting Flickertails all sound good. Regardless I expect the new name to have no relevant historical significance whatsoever. No micro-aggressions allowed.

    I fully expect the name to be picked from some of the lamer names on the list. Plenty of lame names to choose from.

    1. IMHO, Sundogs is a stupid name and should be rejected outright.

    2. SunDogs should be in Arizona.

      Wooly Mammoth on skates would be outstanding. ;-]

  3. So many "green" names, don't they wear black now?
