Let's help our friends from Jersey pick a name for their team shall we?

PrintAs you might have heard, The Nets have sent a request to the league, requesting permission to change their name. This process takes 2 years to be put in effect so whatever name they pick it will be behind Brooklyn. Anyone got any ideas?
Here are some of my suggestions; sarcastic and serious
Brooklyn Wanderers-This one is a serious suggestion as it may not appear. "Wanderers is a common name in English soccer. The meaning refers to a team who can't find a league to play in. They wander from division to division, no steady home. The Nets story is a bit similar. They will wander from their first NJ home to the Prudential Center then finally their final stop at Barclays in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn Barons- Anytime the City name and team name start with the same letter, it rolls off the tongue nicely. Oh apparently a "Baron" is part of British royalty. Not sure how that would fly though being that the owner is Russian.
Brooklyn United-Their owner, the Russian whose name I can't spell clearly states he wants the Nets to be the first global NBA franchise (Try not to laugh). Why not name them after the most global team in sports
Brooklyn Guidos- This could actually be a big hit. A good way to always keep New Jersey in their hearts. Name their new arena the Barclays Shore House, the teams cheerleaders would be the guidettes. The Situation courtside? Fist Pumps!
Brooklyn Carmelo's- He'd be honored.
Any suggestions? It's our duty as NBA fans to help prevent another "Magic" or "Wizards".
Best suggestion wins a discount replica Jordan Farmar Lakers jersey.

Gotta keep some Jersey influence in there.

Oh God, OKC Thunder....the horror still torments my basketball soul...
I’d say something distinctively Russian, like Brooklyn Vodka or something
In honor and memory of the Taco Squad (2009-2010)
Russian? like Brooklyn Cossacks?

The most obvious, generic name would be the "Brooklyn Brawlers."
It reflects the spirit of that city.

Shouldn’t they use “NewYork” instead of Brooklyn? They should just go back to New York Nets.

Not The Knicks
"That means no more coming into camp fat and out of shape, when your team is relying on your leadership on and off the court. It also means no more blaming others for our team's failure, or blaming staff members for not overdramatizing your injuries so that you avoid blame for your lack of conditioning. " Kobe on Shaq being a leader

So do we truncate that to Bro U?
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
It'd probably be BKU

The name was actually created not only to signify unity among the team, but with the supporters as well
Hence the whole club is “United”

The Brooklyn HOVA's!
Word to yo’ motha.
Everyone in this room is now dumber. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
What size is this damn Farmar jersey? If it is not XL im not even
gonna participate. I mean seriously you should have at least told us before 20 people go on ahead and waste their time. It seems that some people might even want a small and unless you got more than one damn jersey to get rid of in some damn New Jersey/Brooklyn name game.
We the people of SS&R need to know the paticulars before we get hosed over agian. Did i say agian? Why yes i did….look at these fuckin players they 1st tried to surround Kobe with to win a “championship” Smush, Kwame, etc.
I know you mean well and all I just want to make sure im gettin a good deal….what if i got the best name EVAR for this damn team?! Is it an away jersey or a home jersey?
Does it come with ears attached?
IS it a reversible jersey and the inside has UCLA stichings?
Or is this all a joke since Farmar is going to the Nets anyways?
I don't do it for your thanks, I do it because I had a calling, but I do love the support you give me and my Soldiers.
This game is actually a scam

The people who go to Midevil Times may find that cool
But I doubt an NBA team would honestly make that their new name.

Ammo is known as a shooter, scorer, defensive specialist, and all around god-like warrior from another planet sent to placate the masses.
There was a Sanskrit passage I remember from my doctoral thesis in ancient languages, it’s eerie, but I believe it has some bearing on the Adam Morrison for MVP rumors I’ve heard lately.
मूंछ नायक दो हज़ार ग्यारह में जीत जाएगा. उसे डर. शॉ की स्तुति करो.
Taken from a tablet removed from the mummified bowels of a nursing camel, and believed to have belonged to the prophet and fakir (I’m going to do this in English so you get an idea of the pronunciation) Be’ryo’n Zsh’aw.
The translation is as follows: The mustache hero will win in two thousand eleven. Fear him. Praise Shaw.
