Some that have been heard:

1) Force

2) Pink Panthers

3) Panther(s)

4) Force Asia

 

I personally think Force India is just OK. Votes? suggestions?  I could make a poll later on.

 

[Vettelari]

How about "Mahindra" after they purchase the team and shut down their FE team? Man, that'd be sweet...

But my vote would be for Force.

SUPER FORCE!

[Lennat]

To be a bit serious, I thought Force India was stupid at first, but after a decade I have gotten used to it and think it's fine. 

[messy]

Force. Just dump the India bit, it keeps the team's identity intact. 

[Nonesuch]

For the moment, they could go with 'Hold Position' so their poor race engineers don't have to go through the same argument with their two drivers each and every race.

[TheRacingElf]

I think they should go for something completely different. We're all so used to Force India by now that every name they come up with with the word "Force" in it will sound like a bad Chinese copy of the original.

Force One. Or Force 1 = F1

Star Force! It sounds nice and silly, and I see no signs they're gonna run anything other than units from the three pointred star enytime soon.

So ... Force One Out.

[turk157]

So ... Force One Out.

Yes

"

But Force One has been ruled out, ostensibly by F1 commercial rights holder Liberty Media.

“The new name must be able to last and it cannot be Force One,” sporting boss Otmar Szafnauer is quoted by France’s Auto Hebdo. "

Silverstone Force (if they insist on including the force bit)

But the team is based in Silverstone and it would be an iconic name.

I don't get it, we have suggested lots of brilliant names but ForceIndia still can't choose 

 

Here is my latest suggestion: FWON

[DutchQuicksilver]

No other name with the word Force in it sounds cool really. So used to Force India. A name like Force One or Force Racing is just dull.

[Peat]

Force It In Dear

Force Bankrupt

 

Amazed that it took them 6 months to come to the conclusion that Force One could be shortened to F1 and would cause some issues when everyone else had noticed that within seconds of them announcing the name.

[jondon]

Since they are sponsored by a water company how about Force it? 

[Widefoot2]

They should switch to Ferrari power units and become Force A.

[lustigson]

Jordan has a nice ring to it. Perhaps they could entice 7-up to sponsor them.

[Lennat]

Yes, those sound like terrible backmarker team names.

[Boing 2]

Just The Tip.

[Bristo]

Force One is the name they oppose. They can name is One Force.

Looks like all the ‘force’ domains and trademarks are being registered by cyber squatters.

Maybe Pegasus, as in the UB Holding logo

Budget Kings

Personally I think they should keep their name as we now recognise force India as over achievers.

I know a name change shouldn't effect anything bit you may be surprised how quickly they become a forgotten team if they have one poor season with an unrecognised name.

It's called something like ninocryllicsatheania and the consequences of change.

[Maustinsj]

Force Two...change our name due to a copyright claim by Liberty Media.
