Dallas Gunslingers
Baltimore Crabs

Also, can you post the owner draft order standings please?

It's hard to do, as there's only a couple team names selected. Many of those points will come from Logos and Jerseys. And then there's the random aspect that is also included. Best to just wait.

Why didn't my Spirits name come up on the voting polls?

I removed all of the Spirits nicknames because the Louisville Spirits are officially one of our teams. In the future just PM with any questions please (as said in the instructions).

Hopefully I'm not too late with these. Disregard them if I am!

Atlanta Aliens - because Outkast 
Vancouver Royals - generic royalty because BC
LA Titans - A lot of Roman/Spartan themes come out of here in other leagues I feel. 
Charlotte Cyclones - Just another word for hurricane
Washington Red Wolves - Does this count as off limits since it was just presented as an alternative name for the Football Team? If not, I just like it. 
New Orleans Crescents - because Crescent City

I don't think these are late, but LA Titans is the name of the AltHL team.

And the Cyclones are Chicago's AltFL team.

You'd think I'd have known those two...Thanks guys!

Silicon Valley Cyborgs: I like the robotic/android/cyborg theme here.  Since San Jose is part of Silicon Valley, I figured why not play a little with the name a bit?

Kansas City Cowboys: Western theme, plus sorta alteration.

Dallas Ocelots: Wanted to skip the western theme since I suggested Cowboys for Kansas City.  Plus, Ocelots are a really cool breed of big cat that, while not really common in Texas anymore, do live near the area and I think DID live in Texas at one point.  Plus, it'd be a unique big cat name besides the usual Cougars, Pumas, Jaguars, etc.

Baltimore Blues: Since Blue Crabs and Crabs are taken, I'll take Blues, to still try and hopefully get the crab theme and get an alteration bonus.

Philadelphia Spartans: To avoid the patriotic theme, I suggest Spartans, the word for the Greek solider.  As Philadelphia is a Greek word, I thought it'd be fun to play up the Greek theme and still have the nickname be tough, befitting Philly.

Pittsburgh Tigers: I had thought to go with Wasps or Yellow Jackets here, since the yellow and black scheme would fit Pittsburgh's love of yellow and black teams.  Since we have a Hornets team in the NBA, I thought it'd get DQ'd, so I'll change this to Tigers, which has an orange and black scheme, but I don't see why this couldn't get the Pittsburgh treatment.
