I'm not overly enthused with the choices but I went for Northampton Rebels.
While they have local connections, Roundheads and Diggers aren't going to work commercially I feel. Nemesis is just plain embarrassing.

Cheers for that Catalancs. The naming (and then the branding) of the team is so very important.

I have to say I think they have missed a trick by not opening the prefix out from Northampton, but living in Peterborough I would say that

From the list I was drawn to Nemesis, just because it's different. Rebels is ok, but from bitter experience at Wakefield, don't get lumbered with an artificial and meaningless moniker.
Is there any local historical link to any of these names?

I would steer clear of revoluiton as typos don't look good on promotional material.

I should spell revolution right as well

Hi coco Rebels, Roundheads and Diggers (hmmm) all are in refence to Northampton's support for the parlimentarians in the english civil war.

Which one are you leaning towards Jimmy?

They definitely didn't, that would have been disastrous.

Meh! can only call it as I see from this end of the A605.

I am thinking Rebels out of that lot.
