It just sounds dumb now because its new. While I agree it isn't the best name I think it will grow on people. There are already some pretty fuckin stupid names out there Wizards, Clippers, Magic just to name a few. And wtf does Laker mean to L.A.?

i was thinking the same thing, but IDK, it still sounds pretty terrible. strange mascot, too many syllables, sounds weird as hell off the tongue.
new or-leans pel-i-cans
not only does it sound dumb, it lacks simplicity. most nba team names are four syllables or less so they sound good. chi-ca-go bulls, mi-am-i heat, bos-ton cel-tics, phoe-nix suns etc. the full team name is just so wonky sounding. it sounds like some D-level team or something that would play the harlem globetrotters lol.

Associated Press said:
The New Orleans Hornets are moving ahead with plans to change their name to the Pelicans next season, people familiar with the decision said.
The people spoke to The Associated Press Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the Hornets have not announced the name change. The people say that is expected to come Thursday, when club also will unveil the proposed new color scheme of blue, gold and red.
Hornets owner Tom Benson has said since buying the NBA club last spring that he wanted a new name representing New Orleans and Louisiana.
What a dumbass name!!! If they wanted something that represented New Orleans they should have called the team the "New Orleans Rhythm" or something.
Seriously, this might be the worst team name in all of sports. I thought it was a joke at first.
I think the rhythm is a decent name or maybe the beat or evrn the swing. Maybe the delta.

Anthony Davis, Eric Gordon, Ryan Anderson.....The team as a whole is doin pretty terrible but those three guys are "good players" 2 of them with potential to be great players. Ive been a Saints fan my whole life so I know whats its like to love a bunch of losers, then one day, BAM champs. Ill stick with the errrr Pelicans through all the "rebuidling" and whatnot. Hopefully itll all come together one day...
