We're obviously huge fans of the newly formed USA women's gymnastics team, but there's one problem: What do we call them?

Gabby Douglas, Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, Laurie Hernandez and Madison Kocian have been selected to travel to Rio for the 2016 Olympic Games, and they need a team nickname sooner rather than later!

The Fierce Five (or Fab Five, depending on who you ask) made history representing the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Gabby and Aly were both members of this gold medal-winning team, along with Kyla Ross, Jordyn Wieber and McKayla Maroney (who have all since retired from professional gymnastics).

This time around, though, newcomers Simone, Laurie and Madison are joining Fierce Five alums Gabby and Aly as members of Team USA. So what should we call this undoubtedly fierce, fab five-some?
