And our first nomination is........Melbourne Heart. I know I get told regularly that we cannot judge the a-league by uk club standards but ffs, Melbourne has a proud football heritage. This name sounds like one left over from a focus group for the city's netball team. However I am sure there are even worse ones out there, don't feel you need to limit yourself to football.

This thread should be under A-League though surely?
That way this new franchise can get the ridicule they so richly deserve.

In all fairness, Melbourne Heart is only a working title.
...so fingers crossed their final name is even more mockable

Ok, I know it's Victory but why? when the league sides have them?
Mind you, I don't plan on visiting Melbourne so I think I might be safe-ish!

The capital V has a special place in the hearts of most Aussie Rules loving Victorians, owing to
the Victorian State of Origin jumper.
MVFC using it could be seen as a marketing ploy to get AFL loving bogans
to start following a Victorian 'wogball' team.
No one here knows anything about rugby league,
part from the fact that all the players appear to be drunken rapists.
But anyway, back to bagging the Heart.

Not wanting to rain on anyone's parade but isn't Melbourne Heart just a working name for the bid? Phoenix had a few working names while they were being discussed and before they actually existed.
Suspect Melbourne Heart will have a new brand when/if they launch.
And the "Worst Name Ever" is almost certainly Shanda Lear - daughter of the founder of Lear Jet Inc. FACT.
