Saw a similar thread on the SCAP board and thought I'd start one here.
What name has your party given itself?
In our game, we are the Diamond Geezers.
I had a group that called themselves the AdVenture Capitalists, after their decision to refurbish the Whispering Cairn as a museum and charge people to enter.
They didn't survive very far after that, sadly.
The group I'm refing calls themselves the League, since they have all modeled their characters after super-heroes or villains. They consist of Colossus, the Thing, Havok, Captain America, Storm, Nightcrawler, the Crusader and Holocaust.
The game's in Eberron, so they named themselves the Fateshards.
You guys are lucky - my players are incapable of naming themselves. I usually suggest that a party start working on a name at 2nd level but my players are 4th and none of them can come up with a good name.
I call my guys Dominos for the way they keep delivering themselves into danger ("Check for traps? Naaawww..." "Scout out the owlbear lair? Heck no, I'll just mosey on in..."). I should've had the owlbear give them a tip for that service.
The name is also appropriate because once their low-hp paladin (their only real fighter) goes down, they all go down shortly afterward. :bagoverhead:

The Lords of Diamond Lake, by the way, consist of all 11th levels, a Cleric/Paladin/Warpriest of Heironeous, a Barbarian/Tempest, a Wizard/Force Missle Mage/Elemental Savant, and a Hexblade8/Rogue3. They are pretty tough, as I let them roll stats, and the ranges came from 34-42 points...I've had several deaths though. They have bought 3 True Ressurections...treasure eaters...
After a crap load of bad rolls, tactics, iner-party bickering, & getting stuck behind the slow-moving "Herman" (a troglodyte zombies which they'd brought under control) on the rope bridge in Horseshoe cavern, I told the players they will probably want to name their group. Almost immediately one of them blurted out "The Short Bus." Alas, it was rejected.
Dont ask, long story thats really pointless.
Fist of the Silent Deadly Wind
Daggerford Defenders (playing in the Realms)
"The Tribe".....but for their own personal security they are in the market for a new name - the old one having achieved a level of notoriety nonconducive for 'sneakin' around.'
Well, my group is still going through SCAP, but I would think that the most obvious party name for AoWAP would be Diamond Dogs... ;)
We ended up calling ourselves the Diamond Six, with a stylized DS as our glyph.
Dirty Faced Killers
My group is actually the third re-incarnation of a group of charcaters we played in 2E, amazingly there was never a group name in any of those incarnations despite my suggestion that one was desrved. So after yars of being called "da Group," the Champions Belt forced an hour of debate that ended with...
The Botherhood of Fate
Diamond Blade

Heheh.
I thought the thread was "AoW Party Games".
"Every time you say the phrase 'green worms', take a shot."
"If your character dies following an ill-conceived charge at a much stronger enemy, finish your drink."
At any rate, I haven't found enough players to get the game rolling yet, but I'm going to encourage them to create a stable of friends in Diamond Lake called the "Diamond Lake Eight" or the "Diamond Lake Dozen" or something of the sort... that way, they'll have replacement characters with natural connections to the current PCs in the likely event that one or more of them makes an ill-conceived charge at a much stronger enemy.
