Whats in a name?

Here in Japan the league I play in is called the bj league - for Basketball Japan (not other things). Next year for the 2013-14 season there will be an expansion team from the prefecture (state) of Nara. Part of setting up a team is to decide what name your team will have. Here is how this team decided to choose their name.
(this is part of an article taken from Japan Times)

"Nara nickname revealed: The Western Conference's next expansion squad will be known as Bambitious Nara, it was announced on Friday before the Osaka Evessa-Shimane Susanoo Magic series opener in Kashihara, Nara Prefecture.

Bambitious Nara will enter the league for the 2013-14 season along with the Aomori Wat's.

Nara Prefecture is known for having deer, especially as part of the history of Kasuga Shrine. As noted on Wikipedia, "the path to Kasuga Shrine passes through Deer Park (in Nara)." The entry added: "In Deer Park, deer are able to roam freely and are believed to be scared messengers of the Shinto gods that inhabit the shrine and surrounding mountainous terrain. Kasuga Shrine and the deer have been featured in several paintings and works of art of the Nambokucho Period (1336-1392)."

In the 1920s, Austrian writer Felix Salten penned a book that was translated into English as "Bambi, A Life in the Woods." It was made into a Walt Disney Studios film in 1942. Bambi, a strong, cunning deer, remains one of the most well-known animals in popular culture around the world, with Salten's books being translated into a number of other languages.

With that in mind, the team created its nickname, combining Bambi and the goal to "be ambitious.""
