    Most people like Nads. Most people hate the Nats.

    Well, at least Pig didn’t suggest the “Nadies” (Spanish for “Nobodies”); the punchline would still call in the C.S.C.

    I’d say it’d take a lot of COJONES to name a sports team “The Nads”.;-D

    If you want to inspire girls, maybe you should name a Women’s soccer, hockey, or basketball team. But I don’t think they will find Go Nads to be an inspiring cheer.

    I took a perverse pride in naming our college’s intra dorm basketball team the Flying Condoms, figuring the class newsrag would think it was just a misprint. We designed a logo that resembled a rubber (staring out “point blank”) flanked on each side by wings spread as if on the rise. No one tried to censor name or logo (of course that was in 1972).

    Rat, take a lesson from the Japanese Baseball League, the team called the SoftBank Hawks. Fukuoka, that is. Pronunciation is part of the grade here.

    Had a young woman at work, and it was a more casual environment, named Nadine, who had herself written on a piece of her equipment ‘Go Nads’

    At least baseball is generally not a contact sport. Though the other team’s catcher may be hit by Pig’s Nads at home.

    Several years ago in the high school where I taught the Calc teacher had a contest he called ‘World Series of Calculus.’

    Daily results on the mourning announcements.

    The Principal was less than thrilled that one team chose the name Latus Rectums.

    A number of years ago, GM tried marketing a compact car in South America. It didn’t work out. After some study, they discovered the problem. The vehicle was the Nova. It the local languages, the name said “It doesn’t go” (no va in Spanish, nao vai in Portuguese). I really don’t know if this is true or not, probably an apocryphal urban legend, but it does show the importance of a name.

    That name is taken__National Association of Distance Sprinters. That team runs in the Hood to Coast relay every year. The support van is easy to spot, it has two exercise balls on the roof.

    The US Navy has a repair facility for all things aviation, the Naval Aviation Depot, originally abbreviated NAVAVNDEPOT. In the 1970s there was a movement to shorten the name. Yes the popular choice was the Nad’s for the plural form. That seemed to be the accepted choice until the top brass caught wind of the jokes about cheering them on with, " Go Nad’s Go. The recognized abbreviation is now NADEP.
