Not strong enough evidence. Nicknames are not the same as alternative names. Only alternative names belong here if any.

The '''Women's National Basketball Association''' ('''WNBA''')
Five WNBA teams have direct NBA counterparts and normally play in the same arena: [[Indiana Fever]], [[Los Angeles Sparks]], [[Minnesota Lynx]], [[New York Liberty]], and [[Phoenix Mercury]]. The [[Atlanta Dream]], [[Chicago Sky]], [[Connecticut Sun]], [[Dallas Wings]], [[Las Vegas Aces]], [[Seattle Storm]], and [[Washington Mystics]] do not share an arena with a direct NBA counterpart, although four of the seven (the Dream, the Sky, the Wings, and the Mystics) share a market with an NBA counterpart, two (Mystics and Dream) play in [[NBA G League]] arenas, while the Storm shared an arena and market with an NBA team, the [[SuperSonics]], at the time of its founding. The Dream, Sky, Sun, Wings, Aces, Sparks, and Storm are all independently owned.
