I prefer something not generic

I would say 3 of the 5 teams names listed are generic. If Bears, Giants, & Cardinals aren't generic names I don't know what is. Most team names are generic.

I would agree.

I like ones that have some regional association- Steelers, 49ers, Packers, and Patriots fall under that category.

Then there is a category that is a bit more quirky. The Browns were named after the guy who founded and coached them. Say what you will, but Ravens was a clever way to get a name that is seemingly generic and easy, but actually is named after a poem by Edgar Allen Poe. And the piece de resistance is the Cleveland/Los Angeles/St Louis/Los Angeles-again Rams who were named after the Fordham Rams, the beloved alma mater of yours truly, Redskin Fan Emeritus, Jack Lord.

It is the latter category that inspires my liking of Hogs.
