Ottawa’s CFL team is third and inches in its search for a name and identity.

Focus groups were shown five possible team names Wednesday — Nationals, Raftsmen, Voyageurs, Rush and RedBlacks (all one word) — and you can bet there will be a lot of haters.

There was mixed consensus in a media focus group, where Nationals was quickly dismissed.
