How it works

This clan name randomizer joins one of 42 first words to one of 44 group words, as in Respawn Otters, for 1,848 names for a squad that plays online together.

Read the full guide

Lock the half you like

Press the button for a name. Lock either row and press again to change only the other: keep Syndicate and roll first words until one fits, or keep Low Battery and try it with Squad, Council and Wombats.

Pick a tone

The first words come in three tones, listed below the tool: words from the game itself (Respawn, Side Quest, Pause Menu), words for a team that means it (Iron, Thunder, Neon) and words for a team that does not (Yawning, Slightly Lost). The group words are plain words for a group, and animals.

Tips

Print a sheet of twenty, post it in the group chat and let the clan vote.
Say the name aloud. It will be shouted over voice chat more than it is read.

Questions and answers

What is a clan in gaming?

An organized group of players who regularly play together in one or more multiplayer games. Some enter competitions; many are small squads of friends. Some games call the same thing a guild, a faction or a community.

Is the clan name taken?

This page cannot tell. No word here is a word in the titles of the 740 esports team articles we checked on Wikipedia, but that list is not complete. Search the name in your game and online before you settle on it.

How do I make a short tag from the name?

Take the first letter of each word, or the first three letters of the first word: Respawn Otters gives RO or RES. Games set their own limits on tags, so check yours.

How this list was compiled: Own list of 42 first words in three tones, each with one line, written for this page, on the kind of team it suggests. Screen, by script on 2026-09-30: the titles of 740 English Wikipedia articles in the category tree "Esports teams" (two search requests, deepcategory:"Esports teams", fetched that day) were split into words; no word in either row is a word of any of those titles, and none of the 1848 joined names is one of the titles. That list is not complete: game wikis, clan directories and trademark registers were not searched, and no page can tell whether a name is free in your game. No word repeats a row of the gamertag, call sign, mascot, villain or superhero name pages. No game, league, team or person is named. Licence: own work

How this list was compiled: Own list of 44 group words, plain words for a group and plural animals, each with one line written for this page. The screen described under the first-word row covers this row too. The word "guild" is left to the fantasy organization page and "league" is left out on purpose. Licence: own work
