Naming a leaderboard for your community VIP program is tricky. Choosing a great name can mean the difference between success and failure.

A good name should be aspirational (people want to be in the club), informative (explain what behaviours get you into the club) and catchy (short and simple).

Some of the  leaderboard names I’ve seen work are:

• Social Media Superstars
• Gamification Gurus
• AdParlor Cannes Pride  (for the top people at a conference called ‘Cannes Lions’)
• Zoopla Property Power 100
• Technorati (top bloggers)

So to help you choose I’ve compiled this list of 20 catchy words and ideas to make your Leaderboard zing:

1. Heroes
2. Stars
3. Legends
4. Hotshots
5. Icon
6. Idols
7. Elite
8. Elan
9. Champions
10. Cheeses
11. VIPs
12. Senior
13. Galactic
14. Gurus
15. Top Dogs
16. Top Cats
17. Power 100
18. Evangelists
19. Aces
20. Bigwigs

It’s by no means an exhaustive list, but I hope it’ll get your creative juices flowing.
