Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

nashville stars?

I thought of that, but there's a country music reality show called "Nashville Star," plus Susan Elizabeth Phillips uses the Stars as the name for her fictional team in her football series that's IMMENSELY popular.

What do we think of the Nashville Capitals?

Now tagless for your comfort.

List of vintage baseball teams. Baseball was so popular and widespread, you may find it difficult finding a team name that's never been used!

Nashville Bass

basball and music -- plus fish if you want to go there

Forgot about Phillips.

Nashville Capitols doesn't do much for me -- but it sounds like a team name

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Doesn't D.C. have a team of some sort named the Capitols? Or am I hallucinating?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm checking out the bush league team names--they're kind of cool. South Atlantic League.

Owen had an accident in the bakery while we were ordering his birthday cake. I think he was just so excited about the Monsters vs. Aliens cake with it's giant Insectosaurus wreaking havoc on the Golden Gate Bridge that he didn't realize he had to go. Then he politely pointed out the puddle to another patron before she stepped in it.

Tennessee State Symbols:

Hm... The one that appeals to me the most is the Tennessee Walking Horse, but somehow, I think it's bad baseball karma to name a team the Walkers.

Yeah, they're always fun, as are the old Negro League team names as well.
