About Axe throwing names

Most axe throwing names are puns, and the sport hands you plenty of raw material. Axe sounds like ask, act and the start of every ex- word, which gives Axe Me Anything, Balancing Axe and Great Axe-pectations. Hatchet, chop, cleave, split and whittle each slot into a familiar phrase (Hatchet-22, Cleave It to Us, Whittle by Whittle), and the lumberjack look supplies flannel, plaid and beard jokes such as Flannel Vision and Beard of Directors.

About two thirds of this list is team names for league night and group bookings. That includes names written for office outings, birthdays and date nights (Axe-counts Payable, Another Year Sharper, Love at First Stick) and cheerfully self-mocking ones for first timers, like Handle First and Wall Hitters. A quarter is solo nicknames for the scoreboard, built from a habit plus a first name (One-Rotation Ray, Dropsy Dave) or from a title such as The Board Whisperer. The rest names leagues and tournaments, from The Splinter Cup to the Tuesday Night Timber League.

A name gets typed onto a screen and shouted across a lane, so short ones land best. If a pun needs explaining, reroll.

How to choose Axe throwing names

  • Long puns can get cut off on a scoreboard, so keep a short version ready: Chop Squad fits anywhere, Make Like a Tree and Cleave may not.
  • Match the name to the group. Axe-counts Payable and Logging Overtime suit a work outing, Another Year Sharper a birthday, and Love at First Stick or Two of a Kindling a date night.
  • First visit? A self-mocking name such as Handle First, Nothing but Wall or Accuracy Pending lowers the stakes and gets a laugh when the scores go up.
  • For a solo nickname, take a habit of your own and rhyme or alliterate it with your first name, the way One-Rotation Ray and Follow-Through Drew do. Swap in your own name and it is yours.
  • Naming a league or a tournament? Pair a wood or logging word with Cup, Open, Classic or Invitational, as in The Knotty Pine Classic and The Whetstone Open.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny axe throwing team names?

Pun names get the biggest reaction: Axe Me Anything, No Questions Axed, The Hatchet Job, Chop It Like It's Hot, Lumber Support and Suspenders of Disbelief are all in the list. For a group of beginners, Handle First and The Floor Is the Target make the joke before anyone else can.

What is a cool axe throwing name that is not a pun?

Try a nickname or a title instead of wordplay. The Board Whisperer, The Flannel Cannon, Baron von Thunk and The Hickory Hurler read as scoreboard personas, and team names such as Thunk Squad, Sawdust Society and The Inner Circle sound confident without a joke in them.

Can I use these names for a league or a tournament?

Yes. About a tenth of the list is names for leagues and events, such as The Splinter Cup, The Golden Hatchet Open, Thursday Thunk League and The Rookie Round Robin. They are invented names, so check that no venue or league near you already uses the one you pick.

Do the names work for a work outing or a birthday party?

Yes, there are names written for both. Office groups can use Axe-counts Payable, Ctrl Axe Delete or Mandatory Fun Committee, and birthday parties can use Another Year Sharper, Cake and Cleavers or Forty and Flannel.
