How to Create a School Club Name

Many high school club names are so lame that you don't want to add to the clutter. If you are in a group that is doing something new, then your name should reflect that. Or maybe you're in the position to make a name up for an existing club, such as a book or chess club. Either way, take this opportunity to showcase your creativity.

Instructions

1. Be clear about the mission of your club. If it is a group formed to serve some kind of social mission, you may want to include the mission in the name so that you can recruit members and draw attention to your efforts. Be prepared for any backlash if the mission is at all controversial.

2. Go for alliteration if you want to have a cool sounding name. Make all the first letters of each word in the name the same.

3. Play on words and the name of the school. For example, you go to Center City High School; create a name such as Center of Attention Club, or Triple C (Center City Club).

4. Make the naming of the club a contest and invite other students to come up with names. Offer a nice prize for the winner of the contest. You can stir up some nice competition while tapping into the imaginations of many other students.

5. Vote on the name among your members then come up with a mascot or logo that matches the name. Ideally, you'll try for consensus on the name instead of majority voting. Getting everyone excited about the name will make the whole club just that much more fun and attractive to new members.
