    Alrighty, now that we know Katie isn't a backstabber and that Bari isn't r****ded, I nominate our new name to be the Houston Gravity Dongs.

    Rockets is one of those names that fits very well…I think it’s perfect

    the Pelicans have the worst name and need a name change expeditiously…their entire brand is garbage

    New Orleans and Utah need to switch back names

    New Orleans Jazz and the Utah Pelicans…Salt Lake City/Utah is a lame place, it deserves a lame name

    If I HAD to change their name, no choice, it's changing, Id have to go with the Houston Chopped & Screwed. Just Screwed for short.

    Yep! That would be it.

    And Mike Jones would be the full time DJ.

    The fact that this was said ten years before Washington became "The Washington Football Team" is amazing

    Funny derivative of the space program: "The Houston Johnson's"

    Interesting name: "The Houston Energy"

    Fitting name: "The Houston Crawfish"

    Historic name: "The Houston Third Ward"

    lastly: "The Houston Pickup Trucks"

    I think the name should be centered around space.

    I prefer Houston Stormkitty

    Stormkitty is an old English name for the Wet Cats. The female of the species is most vocal in the early evening and has a tendency to meow after, and sometimes during, wet and windy weather which led to the name 'Stormkitty’

    Stormkitties are very protective of their pies
