Salt Lake Mormons (I'm probably not the only one thinking of this one, but I'm taking it before anybody else can)
San Antonio Revolution (We all remember the Alamo, but it was part of the larger Texas Revolution)
San Diego Vigilantes (The motto of the city is translated as "Ever Vigilant", plus it sounds like a good name for a football team)
Seattle Caffeine (Starbucks is headquartered in Seattle, plus I've always thought that it would make for a unique team name and identity)
St. Louis Gladiators (One of the lesser known nicknames of St. Louis is "Rome of the West")
Toronto Travelers (They're the only international team in the league and its a nice bit of alliteration)

Also, I was curious as to why my suggestion for Philadelphia wasn't in the poll, but then I realized right then and there about the Penn Quakers. I had totally forgotten about it when I figuring out a nickname.

Utah Rhinos: Looks like Burmy beat me to using Rhinos, a name I've been wanting to use too, haha!  However, I like Rhinos more for Utah here personally.
San Antonio Generals:  Sticking with San Antonio's nickname of Military city, you don't get much higher ranked than a General.  
San Diego Cruisers: Seems a couple of people already have San Diego's naval theme in mind.  Same here.  Cruisers just seems like a solid option.
Seattle Stags: Alliteration, plus a deer theme would be fun.
St. Louis Steamers: The Steamboat was a big part of St. Louis's rise to becoming a major American city, allowing it to be a big trade center in the 19th Century.  
Toronto Boars:  My original suggestion from AtlHL.  I know there's a Hogs choice too, but think of this as a good way to get one of the Pig themed teams in.  

Salt Lake Swarm - Utah is nicknamed the beehive state, due to the early Mormon settlers there calling it Deseret (The Biblical Land of Milk and Honey).

San Antonio Soldados - It’s really a shame that “Vaqueros” didn’t win the LA poll, even though it came awfully close, but here’s another chance to use a Latin-inspired name. “Soldado” is Spanish for soldier, which is a reference to the famous Alamo last stand.

San Diego Mantas - Manta Rays live in the waters around San Diego. Manta is also a ride at Seaworld.

Seattle Greys - This is the third time I’ve edited my submission for Seattle, and I’ve decided to name them after the Pacific Northwest Coast Grey Whales.

Second St. Louis Steamers

Toronto Dukes - Not sure why I chose to nominate dukes, just sounds very Dominion-y.

SLC- North Shore Monsters- The North Shore Monster is supposedly in the great salt lake.
San Antonio Conquistadors
Second: San Diego Pandas
Seattle Summit- As a Washington native, a mountain theme would be super cool.
St Louis Clydesdales- A budweiser brewery is in St Louis, and I think a horse theme would be neat.
Toronto Poutine Eaters- Unique and obscure

Utah Lakers - Great Salt Lake
San Antonio Riverhounds - San Antonio River Walk
San Diego Tigers - San Diego Zoo
Seattle Schooners - Original founders of Seattle came in a schooner
St Louis Sentries - Similar to Gate Keepers but it has alliteration
Toronto Palominos - Golden Horse for the Golden Horseshoe
