Cool name for an acm team ?
By Mostafa_36a2, 10 years ago, In English

We have got the first place in our local Damascus DCPC ,our team name was O_0 :)

But now ,we've changed the team ,and trying to find a good name (who knows ,we may go to the ICPC this year ),I'm pretty sure that many others want to name there team with a special [cool] name;

for our team we have many possibilities like :

keep_coding=true;
KeepForward
2^43112609-1
keep::calm && code
Press any key to continue ...
^-^
koki_code

would you tell me the best,or provide others .

Thank you

I'think that good name should be short and in some cases it's better to avoid non-letter characters (do not know how important it is for you).

What about:

Mighty Anykeyers
Hopeless Megacoders
C--
Keyboardcrackers
Know no algos

etc...

    "it's better to avoid non-letter characters" You're right , our team name was O_0 but they always write it O_o

    I like the "C--" :) Btw here is a small list of top-6 wonderful names in the 2014 ACM-ICPC :

    6-   foo
5-   I Triple Dare You
4-   In yo' face!
3-   ThanQ
2-   ftw
1-   ETH ✚ ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

    (the 2nd I think is meant to be reversed)

    You know what , I chose etc... :D

      Number 3 on your list, ThanQ is my team together with nathanajah and gstsclq :D. It's based on our team member names : Jona than, Na than, and Quang. We decided to combine our names to make the team name because we didn't have any other idea, and ThanQ sounds cool haha :)

        Amazing :)

        using this method we may end up with a team name like katakana

        thanks

          I think it's meant to be read like this , so it's kill two birds with one stone [actually I read it like : is P bigger than Q] :p

    avoid non-letter characters

    Our team name last year on CTU Open: ☺☺☺. It's a photo at the same time :D

    I prefer random names to generic ones, anyway.
