I humbly present my alternative list of names
Self evident(ish):
Lancashire Hotpots
Yorkshire Puddings
Essex Girls
Glamorgan Sausages
Worcestershire Sorcerers
Kent Hops
Sussex Downs
Slightly more tenuous:
Somerset Insiders
Derby Hats
Gloucs Painters
Notts Sailors
For the two near / in London, I think the ground names work nicely:
Middlesex Lords (other possibilities - Middlesex Manics, Middlesex Hermaphrodites
Surrey Ovals
A little bit of history:
Durham Prince-Bishops
Semi-random (but still better than the real ones, methinks):
Leicestershire Llamas (should at least start with the same letter)
Hampshire Hamsters (of course)
Northants Ants
Warwickshire Brummies (because it will piss them off to point out that Warwickshire cricket ground
is really very close to the centre of Birmingham)
