I'm gming a game later today and I've been working on it for a long time but I've been stuck on a name for the group of villains. It takes place in a modern fantasy setting (think Netflix's "Bright") and the villains are a group of high school girls with their own private army. Basically it's Mean Girls meets COBRA. So I need a name for them. Please help.

I'm thinking something with either Squad or Society in the title. Leaning more toward Society since they have an army, though.

If they're big on school spirit, maybe (school mascot) Society?

Or maybe just The Influencers, playing on the social media-obsessed type people, if that exists.

Do you have any other information about them that might help with a name?

Try out High Command. It ties into the army thing and the high school thing.

What's their favorite modus operandi? Do they manipulate behind the scenes? Give dramatic big villain speeches while posing for the media in high school uniforms? Use superpower strength/magic to tear apart the downtown on a bad day?

Basically, we need more info.

Do they have an actual military force? Or just a bunch of fans?
Are they powerful individually, or only because they have an army?
Do people know who they are, or are they super low-profile?
Are they human? Do people know they are/aren't human?

Or "The Kindly Ones", to take the classical allusion further.

If from certain parts of the US, "Hell's Belles".

The Squad.

I second "High Command" if their private army is composed of human mercenaries armed with modern military weapons.

But I think it should be a supernatural private army, perhaps a combination of the undead which they have created and demonic forces that grant them their powers. Then they could be "The Black Angels"

After much consideration I've decided to call them the Fear-It Squad and to rename one of the girls The Influencer. Thank you everyone for your help.

Depends what their motif is. Try:
Hell's Harpies
The Sirines
The Pixie Posse

I was going to suggest “Evil Girl Group”, just as in the thread title. For fun you could run it through google translate to find a non English version that sounds better to your ear.

If you’re a Calvin and Hobbes fan G.R.O.S.S. works.

Internally they don't recognise a name. Because thinking up a name for your club is such a boy thing.

Externally they have as many names as groups they interact with might think to refer to them as.

I may be going too dark with some of these names... since Mean Girls is actually kind of funny...
But High School is a time of emotional turmoil for many...

- Sunlight's End
- Legion of Broken Hope
- The Bloody Marys
- The Siren's Call
- Crimson Sunset
- Army of Harpies

Whoops, apparently I need to read the whole thread, not just the original post, to see you decided on a name.

Or some pun on "spirit" as in "school spirit" and "spirit" as in a ghost or demon

Thirdly spirit can refer to alcohol which I assume teenage girls would also like.

"I am totally wasted."

"We totally wasted them."
