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. Also, it will give your group its own unique identity. This can help you decide which direction your reading lists will go, where your meeting will take place, and much more!
One of the best ways to think of creative or fun book club names is to think about what makes your group unique.
A club that meets at lunchtime could be called a Lunch Bunch. One that meets over dinner could be Restaurant Readers. One who meets in the library could be the Ladies of the Library. A group of teachers could call themselves Teacher’s Pets.
A book group that likes to laugh a lot might be called Giggle Girls or Laughing Ladies. An all-male club might be called the Mighty Men, while an all-female club might be the Wonder Women.
Many clever book club names are also based on puns. For example, the 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 embrace 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.
