Alternative Adventuring Group Names
Many groups of characters bear names, whether ones they've chosen for themselves, gained through their exploits or others have given to them.
These names might come from something that happened during play, something that can be summed up in a word, based around a name or a place associated with the party, something stranger or a meta thing reaching out from things at the table in real life.
There is a random generator for Adventuring Group Names at Chaos Gen, and a PDF of Adventuring Group Names at DriveThru RPG.
