The related to the big league team name isn't used that often and having its own brand is probably better.
Most of the teams either just use the big league teams name - i.e. Iowa Wild or Providence Bruins (which obviously doesn't work here) or something that sticks in the market regardless of affiliation - Rochester Americans, Hershey Bears.
The only ones that obviously related to the big league team names are the Henderson Silver Knights and Ontario Reign. I guess you could include Tucson Road Runners and San Jose Barracuda - but they are just different animals that live in the same habitat as the big league team instead of directly related.
