Washington Football Team owner Tanya Snyder confirmed eight potential team nicknames Tuesday, noting that the selection process has been narrowed down to three.

Snyder featured on The Adam Schefter Podcast with ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter and acknowledged the eight nicknames listed by the host were options for the team.

Schefter later clarified other names might be under discussion:

Clarification: A WFT spokesperson said this morning that the list of eight names is a selection of names that were highlighted in their Making the Brand video, not a final list of potential name candidates. <a href=”https://t.co/GpzvFMvvcH”>https://t.co/GpzvFMvvcH</a>
