At a major #Dota2 tournament organized in the United Arab Emirates, invited Eastern European team "BetBoom Team" sponsored by the eponymous online bookmaker had to change their name to "BB Team". I assume it has to do with gambling being illegal in the UAE, but the English casters kept making fun of the name change by coming up with various expansions of the contrived acronym:
  • BeBop Team
  • BoomBoom Team
  • BedBath and Beyond
  • BasketBall Team
  • BoomBox Team
  • BingBong Team
  • BumbleBee Team
  • BeanBlobs Team
  • BlockBuster Team
  • BikiniBottom Team



What UAE-safe name would you have suggested?
Suggestions from my partner:
  • BettyBoop Team
  • BilboBaggins Team
  • BingBang Boom
  • BaddaBing Team
  • BippityBoppity Boo
  • Hit Me BB One More Team
