Weird names for sports teams from international cities
If you were starting up a new international league for a weird sport, like chess-boxing or underwater rugby (these sports actually exist) and you wanted to attract attention, what strange names would you give to your teams?

What about The Londonderry-ieres (N. Ireland)? Or The Paris-ites (France)? Or The Chittagong Metalworkers (Bangladesh)? Or The Capetown Zorros (S. Africa)?

Here are some towns that might inspire some strange names, or if you can think of some others.

Frankfurt, Germany
Berne, Switzerlan
Lahore, Pakistan
New Delhi, India
Sydney, Australia
Manila, Philippines
Lima, Peru
Manchester, England
Yazoo, Mississippi
Entre Piernas, Chile
Amman, Jordan
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Hamburg, Germany
Bangkok, Thailand
Brussels, Belgium
Cairo, Egypt
Moroni, Comoros
Nuuk, Greenland
Seoul, S. Korea
Eureka, California

2. What's an international city?
Is that a city that lies on a border between two or more countries? :P

4. Several real minor league baseball teams:
My old home town, Allentown PA, is home to the Iron Pigs, and there is a tream called the Lansing Lugnuts....

Not quite international, but different...
