put your suggestion in here.

mine:
- Team Frostwolf
- Team Blackrock

Why? Because these are 2 well known clans on the Horde side that have a big history!

Frostwolf Clan
-Previous leaders:Garad, Durotan (Father of Thrall.), Thrall
-Current leader: Drek'Thar
The Frostwolf clan was one of the original orc clans from the planet of Draenor, their homeland was in Nagrand near the Mountain of Spirits, Oshu'gun. When Gul'dan initially approached the chieftains with the offer to gain immeasurable power by drinking the blood of Mannoroth, Durotan of the Frostwolves refused. Durotan, who advocated traditional orc society, began to speak out vehemently against the corruption wrought by Gul'dan and the warlocks of the Shadow Council. Because of this, Gul'dan declared the Frostwolves to be outlaws. Fearing for the safety of his tribe, Durotan led the Frost Wolves through the Dark Portal and eventually settled in the distant Alterac Mountains.

During the First War, Durotan returned from exile to warn his old friend Orgrim Doomhammer again of Gul'dan's treachery. Shortly thereafter, he and his wife were murdered by assassins on the orders of Gul'dan; only their infant son Go'el, named Thrall by the human lord who found him, survived.

Throughout the First and Second War the Frostwolves remained in hiding, practicing the old traditions under the leadership of their shaman Drek'Thar. Eventually, nearly two decades after their exile, Thrall, the son of their chieftain, sought them out. Under the tutelage of Drek'Thar, Thrall became a shaman and began a crusade to re-awaken the orcs to their heritage and free them from the demonic corruption that had plagued them for so long. Though the Frostwolves fought bravely to liberate their brethren from the humans, against the Burning Legion during the Third War, and helped to found Durotar, many of them abandoned their capital where the rest of the orc clans live. Instead, they returned to their traditional homeland in the Alterac Mountains, where they hoped to remain neutral as tensions between the Horde and the Alliance increased.

Now, however, the Frostwolves have been caught up in the new struggle between the Horde and the Alliance, as the Alterac Mountains become the setting for an ongoing battle between the two factions. As Warchief of the Horde and Chieftain of the Frostwolves, Thrall has asked that all able-bodied members of the Horde assist.

Blackrock Clan
-Pre Corruption
Blackhand was the Chieftain of the Blackrock Clan, but Gul'dan needed a puppet to control the Horde so Blackhand became a mere figurehead for the warlock.

-First War
Near the end of the First War, Blackhand was challenged and killed by his lieutenant, Orgrim Doomhammer. Doomhammer seized control of the clan and slaughtered the members of the Shadow Council, the biggest threat to his throne.

-Second War
The clan's forces achieved a number of victories during the Second War, though the betrayal of Gul'dan forced Doomhammer to divide his forces and send a part of the clan to hunt him down and slaughter his followers. The event weakened the Blackrocks, who were eventually defeated and nearly destroyed during the assault on Blackrock Spire, and Orgrim Doomhammer was himself captured and sent to Lordaeron in chains. The Blackrock clan did not disappear; though; the few remaining orcs who had not been captured or killed at the battle returned to Blackrock Spire and began to rebuild. Unlike the other orcs, they remained steadfast to the ideals of the old Horde, including demon worship and depraved blood lust. They became a beacon for orcs who longed for the old days, and soon enough their ranks began to swell again.

-Third War
In the intervening years between the Second War and Third War, the Blackrock clan became a major problem for the Alliance. A faction in Lordaeron under the leadership of Jubei'thos re-embraced their demon-worshipping heritage,[2] staged raids on a number of defenseless Alliance towns,[3] and sacrificed their villagers to the Legion. They did this because their warlocks told them that demons would rain from the skies and the world would burn (referring to the coming of the Burning Legion in the following months).[2] They also ignored Thrall's call to return to shamanism.[4] During the Third War, most of the Blackrock forces in Lordaeron were killed by Arthas and Kel'Thuzad's Scourge. Jubei'thos and his lieutenants had in their possession a demon gate which Kel'Thuzad needed to communicate with Archimonde.[5] The Blackrock orcs that Thrall didn't liberate from the humans' internment camps were likely killed by the Scourge.[4]

However, other members joined the modern Horde under Thrall, like Eitrigg. Orgrim Doomhammer was a mentor to Thrall, and the orc capital of Orgrimmar was named after him. Regardless, the Blackrock orcs in the New Horde don't seem to have maintained a clan identity and are now simply Horde orcs.

-Aftermath of the Third War

Currently, the Blackrock clan still mainly resides in and around Blackrock Spire under the leadership of Rend Blackhand, where they war with the Dark Iron dwarves for control of the area. Their holdings also include territory in the Burning Steppes and the Redridge Mountains. They have formed the Dark Horde and have become a dire threat to nearby towns like Lakeshire, whose defenses are severely strained against their raids. It has also been rumored that they have allied with a group of black dragons led by Nefarian, Deathwing's son. They are but one of the pawns Nefarian is using to undermine the human kingdom of Stormwind.

-Cataclysm
This section concerns content exclusive to Cataclysm.
During the Cataclysm, the Blackrock orcs have found a passage and invade Northshire Valley. It is revealed that the Blackrock clan have allied themselves with Deathwing and the Twilight's Hammer clan.

-Mists of Pandaria
This section concerns content exclusive to Mists of Pandaria.
In the Mists of Pandaria, a large amount of Blackrock orcs have been granted to join the Horde at the request of Warchief Garrosh Hellscream. Led by Malkorok, hundreds of Blackrock orcs have been added into the elite Kor'kron while those have become citizens. Serving as a secret police force, they would punish those that who would dare stand against the Warchief. However, not all of the Blackrocks have been supportive to their warchief, finding him brutal and corrupt to all other Horde races. Most of them, along with the Dragonmaw, Orgrimmar Grunts, Durotar Orcs, and some of the Kor'kron have sided with Darkspear rebels when Thrall secretly entered Orgrimmar and rallied all the orcish citizens loyal to the Horde.

This is the short version, maybe you get the story or not. what i like about these clans is that durotan (main character in the upcomming WoW Movie) and Orgrim were rly good friends and covered eachother during the 'Rise of the Horde'. Even when the Blackrock Clan, led by Blackhand (with Orgrim as 2nd in command) went the bad way.

Also, why i think these names are awesome, is that these names, Orgrim, Durotan, Blackhand etc. will be HUGE in Warlords of Dreanor!
These guys, We are gonna see them in the new expansion.

Ok, enough said.. If any name related to the history of the Horde will be chosen, that would be awesome

If it's gonna be Murloc. ok i'll accept. Atleast you guys know something about these clans now hahahaha

Roflmao... That is awesome. Hahahahahaha

lol....:P

I still hate the sound of the Murloc though... They traumatized me forever! It also has some bad association for me as you've used that team name in Evolved already back on Khadgar during Cataclysm when we were trying to recruit up to a 25 man guild.... Since we're not even on that server anymore ;-)....

Make a poll?

Well :D i'm fine with frostrock or either blackwolf !

I'm also fine with this suggestion. I've also heard something about a Merloc team and something something ... Newayz, I think we should decide so we don't get used to 'Old Revolved' or 'Team 1' and 'Team 2' references.

I vote for Maximae's names.
