I need a name for a gang, but I have no idea how to come up with one, and I don't want it to be too cheesy. Does anyone have any ideas?

Are you talking about a street gang, cause Irl they're normal either named after the race of the people in it and then another noun, or some kind of dangerous animal with maybe a few other tough sounding adjectives thrown in, it's all a bit chicle tbh but Irl gangs are usually juts named with a short set of scary sounding words.
I think the favorite gang name I have in one of my stories though was called Casey Wright's Revenge which I really liked cause 1. it rolls off the tongue 2. it sounds like the name of a pirate ship and 3. I got to come up with the story of who the infamous Casey Wright was and why he needed to be avenged. So yeah I think for a story especially a gang named after a person or family can be fun from a story telling perceptive if you wanna just have more back story thrown in, if not just use some scary words and you'll be fine. Also pro tip if it's a gang that only allows in one race (which they usually do) you can translate that scary word into their native langue for extra effect.
Ei English- "the dog gang" : laughable, lame,weak sauce
German- "die Hundegruppe" : unique, mysterious, spicy

Thank you so much for all the info! This really helps :)
