The most popular choices for team names are the nouns for animals (cougars, dolphins, hawks, etc.) or nouns for an indigenous local image (Broncos, Packers, Steelers, etc.). Team names can be aimed at demonstrating power and dominance of the group to the effect of instilling fear in the minds of the opponents and confidence in the minds of the players of that team; or team names can be friendly images aimed at garnering support of the local community or city. Occasionally amateur teams use nouns that generate humor (the fleas, the mutts, the wieners, etc.) which can motivate the players to wipe the smiles off the faces of their opponents and generate pride in their supporters.
It would not be appropriate to suggest a specific noun for a team name since the noun should have a connection to the sport the team plays or something identifiable to the people where the team is located. For example, the Manatees would not be appropriate for a team in Indianapolis or the Miners would not be appropriate for a team in Honolulu.
