Once, everyone in the group started wearong silver rings, because they local jewler had a surplus pf them we bought up for easy wealth transport. He then asked us if we were using them as identification of our group, and it struck us as a good idea, so the Silver Band was born.
Later, in a Realms game, we ended up fighting a werewolf priest of Malar, and none of us had silver weapons, all we had was my sun elfs holy symbol of Corellon, a silver crescent moon, so teh party rogue ended up stabbing teh werewolf to death with it. I named us the Company of teh Crescent Blade after that, best I could come up with, I tried translating it into elven (most of us were elves) and the best I could get was Sha-Teu'Vel (friends of the moon blade)
He still wears the slightly notched and bent out of shape holy symbol as is
Usually we just cant come up with anything that sounds good, and wed rather have no name at all then a bad one.

Rurik's Raiders
Rurik's Raiders are currently doing great deeds for the good of the peoples of Greyhawk in the game I play in. Rurik Fireaxe, the obnoxious dwarf fighter/wizard (Cha 6) has done his best to take charge of the group, spout the name regularly and even paid a composer to write an epic poem about the Raiders' greatest exploit to date: finding and destroying the dreaded Spear of Hextor. He later paid a great deal of money to have bards of various ability and repute to perform said epic at many inns and taverns throughout Nyrond . . . now the group is stuck with the name.

In the game I currently play in, we have a half-orc fighter/barbarian with a great-axe who seems to have a talent for criticals. At one point, I jokingly dubbed our party Axe, and Backup.
It stuck for some time, though currently (12th-level) the spellcasters have too much mojo to really justify it anymore.

Our group has done it only once, but since then we are always debating on what it should be when we should have been gaming like 3 hours ago..huh..
Well anyway we are the Killers of Chesterton.....its not what you think! *Runs Away*
It was my groups idea anyway .
PS: As you can see my players are more of the hack n slash type.

Each and every group I run for does after several levels. But in my primary world, the group name gets famous if they live long enough, so there's a motivation for them.
I had to take a name away from a group a week or two ago... After a TPK the players wanted to keep "The Silver Talons". I told 'em "with all the deaths you've had and 100% turnover more than once? No. The Silver Talons died in that field with your characters."

Most of the group I started with were at Temple University in Philadelphia and we went to a small game con in Newark De (Wilmark Dynasty/Days of Knights FLGS) in early '80s. We saw someone with a button with a group name on it and thought that would be cool. I came up with the Temple Trolls moniker for us and a lady did the buttons.
In one game we had a battle standard for my dwarf, a hobbit and a gnome. it was crossed axes, a lightning bolt coming down from it to a pile of gold being caught in two grubby hands. My dwarf had profession teamster, was named Hoffa and the party paid to have a lance point added to the tongue of the wagon. It did actually hurt a wyvern that we charged the wagon at!
