Fine print (the friendly kind)
Can I use these names anywhere?
Anywhere you like: group chats, office threads, a hand-lettered banner over the snack table. No credit needed, no strings attached. If the name goes on to win real acclaim, we’ll accept a gracious nod from our seats, like a nominee who knew all along.
What makes a good pool name?
Short enough for a group-chat header, in-jokey enough that outsiders ask about it, and durable enough to survive three award seasons of reuse. Think franchise potential, not straight-to-video. When in doubt, pick the one that punches at the ritual: the sealed envelope, the play-off music, the montage nobody ordered.
