I heard also that Thunder was considered would that mean IF THEY EVER WIN at home the sound guy would play "The Thnder Rolls"?????

It can be easily marketed.ie: Rush of wind. Tornadoes. Ocean waves of water with basketball players rushing out of the break against the shores. Rush of a crowd onto a basketball court. Rush of cowboys across the Oklahoma landscape to get to the game. etc..... RUSH is plural. It can be easily marketed.ie: Rush of wind. Tornadoes.

From the official names i would choose Oklahoma Thunders, but Dunkadelic it's interesting name for them to.

Why the Barons? As far as I know, there is no connection between Oklahoma and minor English nobility. And it's not an alliteration, like the Birmingham Barons (see Jordan, Michael).

The Dunkadelics is cool, hip, and very marketable. There are 30 NBA teams and none of them have a dunk/mascot name. The last time a team had to change names after leaving a city was in 1978 when the Buffalo Braves moved to San Diego and became the Clippers. Welcome to OKC Dunkadelic Nation. Home of the Oklahoma City Dunkadelics, 1-877-OKC-DUNK. The Sonic-Boom in Seattle is now a Dunkadelic-Boom in Oklahoma City.
