Sounds like the name of an XFL team. Has the same weird awkwardness as the Cleveland Guardians. Most of these traditional franchises have names that are actually based and built by the culture. These feel like they were chosen by Marvel or something. I think Tennessee did a good job with Titans. Tampa Bay did well with Devil Rays. These feel unique and like they have a purpose. Commanders will never feel right.

Don't forget that after being pressured the Devil Rays officially changed their name to the Rays back in 2007. And, yeah, the Titans name was a good one.

It's in DC so it'll seem natural to hear the fans yelling "Let's go Commies!"

Oh! I thought Water Closet was internationally used but that might be more of a British English I guess?

Commanders?

My fault, mis read the word. I thought it said The Commodores.

You know, Lionel Richie/the R&B band legends … oh never mind 😛.

WC is the preferred term used in the finnish language as well, but certainly derives from english.

Restroom is the most common term for the public facilities. Men's room or women's room are also used. Bathroom is the most common term in homes. Powder room, toilet, john, and crapper are others. Really never hear water closet in any common use here in the states.
