How to pick a name that sticks
- Keep it short. It shows on every standings page and in every invite. Two to four words reads best.
- Make it about your group. A running joke beats a generic pun. Mash a castaway’s catchphrase with something your friends will recognize.
- Make it about the season. Borrow this season’s tribe names or its most-talked-about moment; the cast page lists the tribes.
- Keep it kind. Party names are visible to everyone who joins, and to anyone at all if the party is public. Roast the game, not real people.
On Pick the Cast, a party name can be 2 to 60 characters, and the host can change it any time. Once it has a name, see how to run a Survivor fantasy league for the rest.
