Cornhole is the rare sport where the equipment is two pieces of plywood and the team names still do most of the talking.
A name that lands in a backyard has to survive being read off a bracket sheet at a sanctioned event, and then being stitched across the back of a set of jerseys. Build your cornhole jerseys with TeamGear Canada here and have the name made properly the first time.
Cornhole names split cleanly along the lines of how the game is actually played, which is why this list is sorted that way rather than alphabetically. Backyard doubles is a social format — two teams of two, boards 27 feet apart, a cooler somewhere in the middle — and the names there lean on corn, husks and the general absurdity of the sport's own name.
Bar and rec leagues are a step up. You are playing a season, your name goes on a standings sheet every week, and it has to be printable in a venue that also serves food. That is where the slide-shot and blocker vocabulary starts earning its keep — a push shot that stops short to guard the hole, an airmail that goes straight in without touching board, a rollback that clears a blocker and drops. Those are real terms, and a name built from one of them tells the room you have played before.
Sanctioned play under the American Cornhole League runs singles and doubles with 16-ounce dual-sided bags and a four-bag frame, and the names there get noticeably shorter and sharper. Nobody wants a twelve-word joke read out before every match. The last group below is built for that: short, clean and fast to say.

Conclusion
The test for a cornhole name is whether it still works after you have lost. It will get said out loud by the other team, on a patio, at least once a night — pick one you can live with on the wrong end of a 21-3 skunk.
Once you have picked one, we will put it on a jersey. TeamGear Canada makes custom cornhole jerseys in our own Canadian factory — no minimum order, free design work, names and numbers included. Start your design here.
