Heart puns, and the group few people guess

Six groups sit in the All team names menu. Heart puns is the largest, with 28. The one few people guess is Cupid, bows and arrows, with 21. Eros and Errors names Cupid's Greek counterpart. A quiver is the case for the arrows, hence A Quiver of Answers.

Old verses make good valentine trivia team names

Parliament of Fowls is Chaucer's poem of 1382, believed to be the first record that ties Saint Valentine's Day to romantic love. Fourteen Lines fits twice: a sonnet traditionally has fourteen lines, and the day is the fourteenth. Love Means Nothing is a tennis score, since love is zero.

  • Sweet Nothings and Love Means Nothing are jokes about a low score, so they land best read out near the bottom.
  • Table for Six carries a number. Type over the name in the list to match your own table before you copy it.
  • Much Ado About Knowing Nothing is long to write on every sheet. Two of Hearts and Bow Ties are kinder to the wrist.
