I honestly never thought this would gain this much steam but here we are and it is wild seeing so many people finally agreeing that it is time for a change. It feels like the momentum is actually reaching a point where someone in the front office might have to look away from their spreadsheets for a second and notice us.

Their name has nothing to do with their uniforms. The uniforms are awesome, so do them justice with a name that has something, anything to do with the city of Washington, DC. Wizards is a stupid name.
please, change the name. I'm not even going to offer a suggestion. Anything relevant, cool, and most importantly not juvenile.
Why don't they change their team nickname back to "Bullets" from "Wizards" they were under for a long time as they won an NBA Title in 1978 as the Washington Bullets.
I'm not even a Washington fan, but an overall NBA Fan because I live in the Birthplace of Basketball, Springfield, MA. Please change that God awful name to the Washington Monuments, you already have the perfect logo!
A name better resembling the cultural identity of the Washington D.C. region, coupled with the team's recent success, will aid in instilling a more permanent and positive presence in the Washington DC sports community.
Yes, let's change this horrible name.
Wizards is a silly name plus with the Magic in the NBA, it's oddly confusing

Federals because Washington is the federal government and their short name as Feds, while the final three that makes sense are Monument, Justice, and Supreme as like Supreme Court, any other names that we need to come up that associates to DC
