Boston is getting an NWSL (women's soccer) team and they're looking for a name.

I propose: The Boston Marriages.

A Boston Marriage was a euphemism for two women (often lesbians) living together independently of men.

Other name ideas attached.

@LilahTovMoon I'm sure there are some really good Fallout 4 references one could try to get stuck in there. 🤔

@LilahTovMoon Boston She Party?

Public

@LilahTovMoon The "Boston Marriages" idea is awesome and clearly best in every way, but prolly won't fly, alas. Still, I feel like "Boston Massacre" has a . . . fighting chance.

Public

@LilahTovMoon That would be magnificent.

Public

@LilahTovMoon I have to say, life seems very interesting in Boston

@LilahTovMoon The Boston Tea Parties. But instead of an American Revolutionary War theme they use only dainty tea party iconography. I want to see badass ladies in petticoats and lace kick butt in soccer. They’ll be the only team allowed to throw cucumber sandwiches and petit fours at their opponents during home games.

@LilahTovMoon Siege, definitely Siege.

Is it okay if I share this list of names on Bluesky?

Public

@LilahTovMoon Yay! Thank you! I will repost over there!

@LilahTovMoon Fun fact... the Pennsylvania Stoners were a pro (semi pro?) men's soccer team of some sort in Allentown in the late 70s and/or maybe early 80s. Named for different reason of course--the Keystone State.

Public

@LilahTovMoon@tech.lgbt I'm a biggg fan of the Boston Storrows

Public

@LilahTovMoon Can' decide if I like Athena or Hub better. Eh, Athena. Hub is too well known. The Boston Athena!

Public

@DoctorOctothorp @LilahTovMoon
No need to have the city name. I think Wicked FC sounds better.

Public

@apressler @LilahTovMoon with the whole Neal Stephenson thing, I'm always on Team Athena.

Public

@DoctorOctothorp @LilahTovMoon
Well, in that context, the name is taken: "Selección de fútbol de Argentina."

@LilahTovMoon I think I might buy Boston Strangler season tickets even though I live 1,000 miles away.

Public

@LilahTovMoon Look, I acknowledge much of society is already built around protecting hetero men's egos, BUT ... can we not do Boston Frustrated Women, please? As a favor. C'mon.

Public

@LilahTovMoon omg “Boston MBTA Bus Replacement Service” 😂

@LilahTovMoon
Come on America, these are all too low brow. The correct name for the new team is, surely, "The Bostonians"
