Cant believe I went from 0 finalists to 4 in one batch.

Overall very happy with the name choices here, but there are some that I'm not the biggest fan of. Been really hoping for an Egyptian theme for Memphis so everything outside of Pharaohs is a no-go to me. Don't really like names that don't in 'S' either so that eliminates a couple but overall some great choices. Hoping for some really unique colors to come out of this round (pink!).
You know Pharaoh is just a fancy word for King right? Kings totally still fits. Maybe not as well as purely Pharaohs but has a lot nicer sound to it and references other things

As the submitter for Blue Sox, I think you should reconsider your position on only Pharaohs being selectable .

I don't know, "Memphis Pharaohs" sounds better to me than "Memphis Kings". It's both words being two syllables, I think. If Kings wins, though, I will absolutely be going with a Pharaoh theme. It's too good not to use here - uniquely Memphis and visually incredibly distinct!

I would totally expect and vote for a Pharaoh/Egyptian design if the Kings win. No matter what wins Memphis I expect a great design

I had trouble voting this round, not sure why.
