"Name The Team" wants your ideas

I think Rangers and Giants are both ok, Pride sounds like the kind of name given to Australian soccer teams (Perth Glory, Melbourne Victory...)

There are already a lot of teams out there called the Giants (NY Giants in the NFL, San Fran Giants in Baseball) and Rangers (New York Rangers Ice hockey, Rangers in Glasgow), don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

They want something to capture the whole area, and I saw somewhere a mention of West Sydney United. Very soccer, but maybe as a big multicultural area it would be seen as a plus.

Or how about West Sydney Wanderers, picking up on the big immigration theme?

Wanderers could work. If you want alliteration... how about West Sydney Wolves? West Sydney Wildcats? West Sydney Wasps? I'm not really sold on Wombats...

Regards "United" sounding very soccer - I'd argue though that there are already plenty of footy teams called United, but it generally isn't their nickname. E.g. in Gippsland where I grew up, you have the MDU (Meeniyan-Dumbalk United) Demons and TTU (Traralgon-Tyers United) Bombers. There are more elsewhere in Victoria and further afield.

On a similar topic, what's a bet that the Gold Coast will end up growing a nickname over time? I think with the mascot being the Lifeguard they'll end up being called "the Guards" by fans, and Gold Coast Guards sounds good to me... even if was on the list of nicknames they passed over. It would be fairly unique if nothing else.
