Default How do you name friendly tournaments?

I got bored of thinking up interesting names for my friendly tournament, so instead of coming up with something appropriately boring and sporty sounding like The Matthew Webb Memorial Trophy, I couldn't be bothered, so just typed in the first thing that came into my head.

Imagine my surprise when a couple of months later, when the tournament was finished I was presented with the news message "Brentford win Igloo"

So what do you guys call your friendly cups and leagues?

I have so many naming conventions it would take ages to explain them all. So here are some examples :

Big Gate Receipt Trophy
Minnow Stuffing Cup
Ardiles Memorial 2-3-5 Cup
Reserve Fitness League

etc etc

I haven't set one up in the new version, but I think a cool feature would be to set up an annual tournament that would keep history, etc.
