Many book groups struggle to find good names for book clubs. Others may not even know they need them. But the truth is, simply calling your book discussion group a “book club” isn’t fun and could limit your membership.
With a creative name, you will be able to attract more members. Plus, it will give your group its own unique identity. This can help you decide which way your reading lists will go, where your meeting will take place, and much more!
One of the best ways to come up with creative or fun book club names is to think about what makes your group unique.
A club that meets at lunchtime could be called the Lunch Bunch. One that meets over dinner could be Restaurant Readers. One that meets in the library could be the Library Ladies. A group of teachers might call themselves the teacher’s pets.
A book group that likes to laugh a lot could be called the Giggle Girls or Laughing Ladies. One made up of all men could be called the Mighty Men, while an all-woman club could be the Wonder Women.
Many clever book club names are also based on word games with books. For example, Book Wormers or Book Marks.
Remember, a great name doesn’t have to be serious or literal. Just remember to think outside the box and be creative. The most important thing when choosing a name is to think about what makes your group different and accept it!
Once you have your name, use it to set the tone and goals for your club. Remember, your name is the springboard to find the true identity of your club.
