Gang Names Ideas
Should in case you find it difficult to choose a particular gang name listed above due to the too many options available for you, we’ve created step by step guide that will show you how to choose a name for your gang. It will enable you to easily pick out a name that best suits your gang.
Tips on how to Create or choose a Gang Nickname
Below we will list out five (5) tips that will help you easily choose a name that best suits your gang; whether it’s in a video game or real life.
1). Most gangs are usually named after some bossy or most influential members of the gang. Sometimes it necessarily doesn’t have to be his name. You could also use something associated with his character or personality. If he is the dominating and rough type, you could name him “Mr. Cruel” for instance.
2). If you have a member who is tough enough to take charge of any situation and keep things under control, whether it be a boy or girl, you can associate them with one of the gang names that suits his/her personality. Or you can be creative enough to tag them with something a little bit far from normal.
3). Apart from using characters or personality to name the most dominating person in your gang or the group as a whole, you can look for other persons or gang that shares the same physic or characteristics and name it after them. For instance, if the person likes to barb the whole of his head and behave forcefully, you could name them Tupac.
4). You could also decide to name your gang or any of its members according to the role that they are playing either as a group or individually. For instance, you could decide to name the one who arranges meetings, etc “Coordination” which happens to be one of the gangster names used in Nigeria.
5). You can also decide to be creative by playing around with one’s name or re-arranging its alphabet in order to get something different.
