    Also look at the Philadelphia Phillies. Sounds like a female horse.

    But the team names are associated with the city. Pelicans can be found in many places.

    I think any bad name becomes normal and isn't as bad as it first seems. If a team were named the clippers nowadays people would be hating on that name too. Its all perspective. A cool logo and jersey could really change that, too.

    I think it's more to due with the syllables, like baglered mentioned earlier.

    Can New Orleans Pelicans be shorten somehow?

    All those teams you mention has either 2 syllables or a shortened nickname. Seahawks, "Cards," "O's," etc.

    What about the Milwaukee Bucks? That would be too confusing

    Go figure.
    LA Lakers sounds good, its completely meaningless and stupid but it just works.

    Pelicans on the other hand is the exact opposite, it can make sense and has a valid reason but just sounds awful

    I love it. Docile animals get no love in the sports world. Its always aggressive, predatory animals like Cougars, Lions, Sharks, etc. I want to see more Chickens, Rabbits, Snails, etc..

    Good job.
