UPDATE!!!
Further to our lively discussion below about team names, we have some new developments to report!
During the backstage excitement of week 2's live show, BBC Strictly Emily tracked down all celebrity couples and showed them your comments!
Much hilarity and debate ensued. Suffice to say the couples were all pretty intrigued by your suggestions. For example, Michelle Williams loved 'Destiny's Cole' and 'Team Brechelle', Artem Chigvintsev was charmed by 'Team Toi Choi' and Felicity Kendal LOVED the suggestion of 'Team Kendal Vince Cake', saying she thought it was "cute".
Amazingly, each couple did manage to make a decision AND entertain us on the dance floor! So, thanks to you all for your fab, funny and fair suggestions and to the celebs for getting involved too.
Here's the full list of official Strictly Team Names for 2010 with links to each team fan page where you can comment and encourage!
So which (dance) camp will you be in?
Team PolaTeam Gatya
Team A²Team PamJam
Team PerinTeam Kendal Vince Cake
Team ScottalieTeam Jarina
Team BrechelleTeam Goldina
Team RobsyTeam Flavistry
Team MattionaTeam Kartem
Look out for more 'team' features coming soon!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We’ve noticed that some cool Strictly team names have started to emerge for the celeb couples (as happened last year)!
Below are some of the team names which we have seen you create so far on various Strictly-related online spaces.
If you have an opinion about these – now is your chance to let us know! We need your help to decide on which names you think will stick.
We’ve got some fun new features on their way to the Strictly site and we want to include the most popular team names, as long as we can all agree on our favourites!

And Team PamJam is the only one I've heard being widely used for James & Pamela.
I've heard Mattiona being used for Matt & Aliona as well.

Personally I think Team Pola is far too close to the legendary Team Cola, but I suppose there's not really an alternative...

WindsorFans
This is for Robin Windsor, set up before his celeb was announced so it is neutral but it very much supports him and Patsy.
Second choice for me is TeamRobsy set up by another Strictly fan on twitter.
Not keen on TeamKensor. WindsorFans and TeamRobsy are already established on twitter and have a pretty good following.

Some great suggestions, including a few team names that seem to be well established and some funny ones too!
'Team Belissima' made us laugh, as did Destiny's Cole, Team Cottontail and Team Satnav!
We should hopefully be able to show these comments to each celeb couple over the next few days. There are so many good variations and think we'd all prefer that they have the final say. Do you agree?
Anyway, keep the suggestions coming and we'll let you know if we get any feedback from the couples!

I quite like Team Flistry though, I think it has a ring to it. Love Team Milani for Matt and Aliona as well (plus being kind of Italian it follows on from Team Ravioli which is the one I used for Rav and Aliona last year) and Team Wilco for Michelle and Brendan. Team Paula is good as well, but skirting a little too close to 'Team Cola' for my liking...

However, since everyone else is terminally nice, I suspect it is more likely to end up known as something like 'the recovery room' ( for hopeless dance addicts). Especially after a pounding from the judges.
