From what I can see a few pheonix club names and ideas have been brandished aroud and a few are a mouthful, mine comes with simplicity.... Simple but recognisable name, play at raunds which would benefit both teams after some negotiating especially if our initial fan base was 400+ all it needs it (as previously said) talking to other pheonix clubs and being set up ready for a years time... Any other suggestions on the future of OUR club??!!

Can't we just be called Rushden FC?

I do think 'Diamonds' should be in there somewhere. I also think 'AFC' should be in there although i'm not quite sure why.
How about AFC Diamonds? Or AFC Diamonds and Rushden? (similar to FC United of Manchester)
Diamonds of Rushden FC?

1889 Rushden
On a serious note, AFC Rushden and Diamonds is a bit of a mouthful and my point of view looking at it from a new media perspective, what ever domain you get for the official site will be crap.
The domain name will either be too long or crap eg, afcrdfc.com.
I'd recommend a slight rebranding.

And may I recommend before any official name is announced, buy the domain names first in .com and .co.uk.
Don't pick a name and then find out the domain has gone.
I like 1889 Rushden or Rushden FC; no matter what the team would be called, it will always be Rushden and Diamonds to me but I do think a slight change in name is needed from a new media perspective.

I agree. I have no affiliation with the town of Rushden at all.
Although I also see the problem of a long name being a hassle... so it's a toughie!

The approach to take would be to have 3-5 possible names and then put it to the vote of the new club members to vote on.
My selection of names just off the top of my head
RDFC Phoenix
AFC Diamonds
Diamonds FC
RDFC United
The Diamonds FC
