I agree with the tribalism point but doesn't that essentially just reduce it to "I cheer for team x because my father/mother/friend etc. also does?" At least in most cases I would think so.
Either way I just think the team names are often corny and don't even coincide well with the area they're based in.

they're often corny which you can them use as ammo to trigger their fans
By making fun of their ****ty name or dumb mascot or gay jerseys
You gotta look on the bright side of things
Asking why name teams is like asking why countries have flags or why knights and families had insignias
It all goes back to the tribalism like I said. It's just an added flair. If you've ever seen a really lit college sports game you know what I'm talking about. All the colors and banners and mascots get people into a sorta mob mentality.
