If you're going to start an awesome club for you and your friends, then you're going to have to create a cool club name to go with it. Whether you want a top-secret club or a club that everyone's going to know about, you can follow these tips to create the coolest club name imaginable.
Steps
Sample Club Documents
-
Make a list of the activities that you want to do in your club. What's the point of your club? Do you just want to get together and talk or play, or do you want to do something at school or in your neighborhood? The purpose of your club will have a big effect on the name that you choose.
-
Decide whether your club is public or private. Do you want your club name to describe what your club is all about? Or do you have a secret club that needs a name that will keep other people from knowing what the club's all about? For an open club, you need a name that anyone can understand. For a closed club, come up with an inside joke or a code name.Advertisement
-
Brainstorm with your members. Get together and make a list of ideas. You'll be surprised at what you'll come up with in a group that you couldn't have come up with on your own.
- Think of something that all of your club members have in common. If you all like the same music, then you can add something about your favorite band to your club name.
- Break out your thesaurus. If you can say something ordinary in an extraordinary way, then your club name will really stand out from the crowd.
- Choose a name from a book, television program or online game. Sometimes, it's okay to borrow from something that's already been created.
-
Keep your club name short. A 3 or 4-word name is easy to remember and easy to abbreviate.

Design a logo . Once you've come up with your club name, design a logo to go with it. You can even take your logo to a screen printer and have some T-shirts made for your members.
-
Decide where you want to meet. You can pick a spot on the playground or meet at someone's house. You can even build a fort or a treehouse to create your own special meeting place.
-
Elect some officers. You can have a president, vice-president and treasurer, or you can make up your own types of officers depending on your club idea.
-
List the things you'll need. If you're starting a babysitting club, for instance, you may need some money to take babysitting classes or to put an ad in your local newspaper.
-
Draw up a budget. To get money, you can charge dues to your members, or you can ask your parents to help. If you want to raise money, think about doing a car wash or some other type of fundraiser, like a bake sale.
-
Have your first meeting. After your first meeting, you can either meet whenever you feel like it, or you can schedule some regular meetings once or twice per week.
