The KKK was the very first thing I thought of when I heard the name Wizards. 

 
that tells us a lot more about you then it does about the name itself.

I seriously doubt that most poeple saw he name bullets and thought of murder.

now you're just making shit up.  bullets, especially in DC in the 80's, = murder and violence.

How about the Washington Midgets?  We could get a lot of people willing to be the mascot.  We could have a mascot toss at half-time.  Throw the mascot the furtherst, get a prize.

It was logical to think of that.  The name was changed.  The reason that was given was (supposed) offensive nature of the prior name.  Logically one would consider if any new name might have any negative connotation.

So by your logic I should think carefully before riding the bullet train.  We don't even need to get into the discussion of criminals = murder and violence.

+1  But in all honesty I am not a fan of the skins at all.  I root for the Eagles.
