OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - What Should I Name My MLB Cleveland Franchise

When I was trying to name my Cleveland franchise, I did an exhaustive 3-minute internet search and discovered that apparently the original people living on the south shore of Lake Erie called themselves "People of the Mountain Lion". Erie was a shortened form of the Iroquois word referring to these people that meant roughly "long-tailed cat".

So, that gives several possibilities using all the words for mountain lion - like
Cleveland Cougars
Cleveland Catamounts
Cleveland Lions
Cleveland Panthers
Cleveland Pumas

I ended up going with just Cleveland Cats. I like it.

But I also like "Cleveland Write-Ins" too....

(Hm. for alliteration that could become Cleveland Candidates)
