As we speak, the top way people are finding my blog is by Google searching “ai fantasy football name generator” and finding my blog post from last year. If you are reading this, you are likely one of those people trying to impress your friends with a clever name. I wanted to share some secrets of prompting a large language model to get great name suggestions. Maybe what you learn here will translate to something more practical that benefits your educator or career, but otherwise, enjoy learning how to leverage the most advanced AI to name your fantasy football team and get a massive reaction from your friends and coworkers. Remember, they must live with your team name all season long as you crush them each week.
My AI Prompting Process for Generating Fantasy Football Names
Step 1: Get a ChatGPT or Claude account (or both). I love both platforms for different reasons, but the prompt techniques that I am going to explain here apply to both chat apps.
Step 2: Start a new chat. Enter this starting text: My objective is to generate a fantasy football team name. Respond OKAY if you understand the objective.
Step 3: Use one of the following prompt templates by replacing the [BRACKETED] words:
- “Generate 5 funny fantasy football team names based on [PLAYER NAME]’s name or playing style.”
- “Create 5 clever fantasy football team names inspired by the [TEAM NAME] and their history or current roster.”
- “Come up with 5 witty fantasy football team names centered around [POSITION] players.”
- “Blend NFL references with [MOVIE/TV SHOW/BOOK] to create 5 unique fantasy football team names.”
- “Generate 5 punny fantasy football team names using football terminology and common phrases.”
- “Create 5 alliterative fantasy football team names starting with the letter [LETTER].”
- “Combine [CITY/STATE] references with football terms to make 5 locally-themed fantasy team names.”
- “Generate 5 playful trash-talking fantasy football team names that imply dominating the competition.”
- “Create 5 fantasy football team names that blend [PROFESSION] terminology with football references.”
- “Come up with 5 fantasy football team names that incorporate [HOLIDAY/SEASON] themes.”
- “Generate 5 appetizing fantasy football team names that combine [FOOD] with player names or football terms.”
- “Create 5 fantasy football team names that blend [MUSIC GENRE/ARTIST] references with NFL players or teams.”
- “Combine names of [HISTORICAL ERA] figures with football terminology to create 5 unique team names.”
- “Generate 5 epic fantasy football team names inspired by [MYTHOLOGY] and NFL players or terms.”
- “Create 5 geeky fantasy football team names that combine [SCIENTIFIC FIELD/TECH COMPANY] with NFL references.”
- “Come up with 5 colorful fantasy football team names incorporating [COLOR] and player names or football terms.”
- “Generate 5 wild fantasy football team names that blend [ANIMAL SPECIES] characteristics with NFL players or terms.”
- “Create 5 electrifying fantasy football team names inspired by [WEATHER EVENT] and football references.”
- “Blend elements from [FICTIONAL WORLD/UNIVERSE] with NFL references to create 5 fantastical fantasy football team names.”
- “Generate 5 multi-sport fantasy football team names that combine NFL references with terms from [OTHER SPORT].”
Step 4: Once you find a good direction or a direction that you like, ask the AI to generate more names. You are bound to find something that you like.
Example
I loved Deadpool and Wolverine. Others might want a fantasy football team named after the blockbuster movie. I will use this prompt: Blend NFL references with Deadpool to create 5 unique fantasy football team names.
I was pleasantly pleased with Mercs with a Mouthguard, since Deadpool is known as the Merc with a Mouth in the comic books.
Let me know what you come up with and what you learned. I am always interested in learning more way to produce great results from AI models.
