Not many names stood out to me but nonetheless there are some unique ones

Just a heads up about Reign for Seattle, the NWSL has a team based in Tacoma called OL Reign. They used to be named Seattle Reign, however.

And before that, there was an ABL (precursor to the WNBA) team of that very same name.

Also, are we counting Stars for Minnesota? Just not sure because of North Stars.

Though not explicitly stated for the AltLB, I believe that if past rules for the other Alt Leagues applied in the same way, only current MLB names, historical MLB and MiLB names from the same city, and local college identities are off the table. I won't weigh in on specifics, but, for example, there was a Major League Lacrosse team named the San Francisco Dragons. Read that as you will.

This is correct.

And we can't use NFL, NHL, or NBA pro team names in the same city for baseball as well.

The Group C Finals!

Another really good round of finalists! (got another 2 in, so of course I'm biased, lol!

Atlanta and Minnesota in particular have some awesome options where, I don't think anyone really can complain with the winner!
