What's in a Name?

As the Shakespeare version on name sounds:

"What's in a name?,That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

But then a name is a label for a noun, normally used to distinguish one from another. Names can identify a class or category of things, or a single thing, either uniquely, or within a given context.

So ppl started to jolt down the NAME's for our entity/identity which was till now called as TEAM 4, and suddenly we were flowing with lot of options from U - the enthusiastic crowd, there were names like MAYANS , FALCONS ,Attawandrons, Cyborg to name a few which were floating around the captain's mailbox.

But then there was an option which was hailed as True maveric name that out of the blue caught the eye of people, "ALPHA" was doing rounds in the annals of Team 4.

ALPHA - Represents 'the first', also represents the leader of the group.

Options started to revolve around ALPHA , names like "ALPHA FOLKS", "ALPHA MAVERIC" , there were votes for "ALPHA FOLKS" and an out of blue there were votes for Attawandron also, but then it was decided on a friday night that we will be hailed as "ALPHA DOGS".

"ALPHA DOGS  - the dog that leads/guides a group".

Finally we had a name which will represent us as an entity.

Thoughts were raised about the name and it's association to the female gender in particular which also sunk in and the name was accepted by the female masses.

Also there were doubts raised on using DOG as an association which was as an animal was not strong enough, but when we compared names like “Chicago Bulls”, “Back Dog”, “Red Bull”, “Mustang”, “Greyhound Lines”, “Beetle”, “Jaguar”  we were left with no doubts as using animal as an association.

So finally we had a name "ALPHA DOG - u Know who Leads".

GO GREEN!!!!

A small write up which sums up the effort of team "ALPHA DOG " to look green on the July of 19 2010:

"As the old woman walked along the beach at dawn, she noticed a young woman ahead of her picking up starfish and flinging them back into the sea. Finally, catching up to the youth, the woman asked her why she was doing this. The answer was that the stranded fish would die if left in the morning sun. “But the beach goes on for endless miles and there are millions of starfish,“ countered the other. “How can your effort make any difference?“ The young woman looked at the starfish in her hand and then threw it safely into the waves. “It makes a difference to this one,“ she said"

That is how we "Alpha Dog" had turned up on the morning of July 19 th 2010, we went to the extend of buying Green suits and joined the green bandwagon ,some went and purchased Green Shirt to add their effort to look Green.

We can boast of a team which had gathered green group pics of their team in Chennai and other location and was shared with celebrations.


 Presenting some pics which were shared with the celebrations:

Our Identity

“Identity is such a crucial affair that one shouldn't rush into it.”

Yes we have not rushed our identity , a clear cut thought process and a voting chain of mails flew through the group and after week long pondering and sorting the options we have come up with a name that identifies our identity:

"ALPHA DOG  - U KNOW WHO LEADS"

So people i want you guys to join hands in promoting our identity.

We would like to keep you posted on the events that are happening through out the Year and our journey will end on cliff, the highest cliff i.e. THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - WINNERS. 

Keep guessing the next post!
