“	Our name has to be another name!	”
	— Golf Ball, "Insectophobe's Nightmare"

Another Name is a team in Battle for Dream Island, created in "Insectophobe's Nightmare" when the teams were uneven (the Grapes had 10 contestants while the Cherries had 5), so the Announcer split the Squashy Grapes into two teams. One group was picked by Leafy and retained its name, as it had grown on Leafy. Rocky picked out the other. Firey suggested that their team be called "Squashy Grapes" as well, but Golf Ball disagreed and told him that the team name had to be "another name". The Announcer named the team "Another Name" as a result. The team consisted of Rocky, Coiny, Firey, Tennis Ball, and Golf Ball.

Strategies

While their strategy in challenges is seemingly straightforward, their performance is offset by their lack of teamwork and severe disadvantages, such as Coiny and Firey's rivalry and Rocky's tendency to vomit, making it easier for them to be taken advantage of by the other teams and lose challenges.

Coverage

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare", Rocky is picked by the Announcer to pick one of the teams. Not being able to speak, he barfs on Tennis Ball to choose him for his team. Tennis Ball then picks Golf Ball and Coiny in place of Rocky. Firey is the last one picked, meaning that he and Coiny are on the same team. In the six-legged race, they have a hard time walking in synchrony due to Rocky barfing and Firey and Coiny constantly slapping each other. However, they manage to take the lead over the Squishy Cherries, until they reach a tightrope, causing Firey to scream from his fear of heights. Just as they're about to win, Rocky barfs in front of them, causing them to slip, allowing the Cherries to place first while Another Name settles for second.

In "Crybaby!", in the crying contest, Golf Ball manages to "cry" a single tear for her team, which seems to be enough to qualify them in the tiebreaker ski challenge. Tennis Ball uses the skis while Coiny and Firey each hold one pole. Suddenly, Rocky appears in front of them, causing them to trip and form a snowball on the mountain. The same happens to the Squishy Cherries, making it hard for the Announcer to tell which of two teams crossed the finish line in first and last, so they need another tiebreaker, which is a handstand contest. Tennis Ball, Golf Ball, and Rocky lose immediately since they have no arms. Rocky then barfs on Firey, which makes Coiny laugh. They start slapping each other again and fall over, making their team up for elimination.

In "Lofty", Golf Ball and Rocky end up with the two highest votes in Cake at Stake, even after Golf Ball used her Win Token. The Cherries unanimously choose Rocky over Golf Ball, making her the first eliminated from the team. Before the challenge starts, everyone has to climb some stairs. As everyone reaches the top, Tennis Ball quickly falls off, meaning Another Name can only have three of their players participate. However, almost as soon as the contest starts, Coiny slaps Firey into a nail that Blocky is holding. Coiny manages to hold his own for a while, killing off Ice Cube in the process, but Blocky then throws a nail that pops his balloon. Rocky was the last one remaining, and Blocky uses the disappearing power that the Announcer did making Rocky's balloon disappear, which makes Another Name lose for the second time in a row.

In "A Leg Up in the Race", Firey is the only safe member of the team. The Squashy Grapes decide to keep Tennis Ball over Coiny due to how useless he might be if he keeps slapping Firey, so Coiny is eliminated. Firey is now the sole member of Another Name, but the teams then break.

Wins and losses

Episode	Win/Lose	Strategy
"Insectophobe's Nightmare"	Win (2nd)	The team almost came in first but Rocky's vomit caused them to slip, causing them to settle for 2nd.
"Crybaby!"	Lose	Golf Ball, Rocky, and Tennis Ball automatically lost the handstand contest due to their lack of arms. Rocky then barfed on Firey, which made Coiny laugh. The two then slapped it out until they fell over.
