The Miami Dolphins team home is Dolphins Stadium. The stadium went by other names: Pro Player Stadium (1997-2004) and Joe Robbie Stadium (1987-1996).
Sun Life Financial bought the naming rights to the stadium for 5 years starting in 2010, with an option to extend the naming rights for an additional 5 years minimum. Sun Life bought the naming rights a week before the NFL Pro-Bowl and Super Bowl will be played there. Land Shark had the naming rights to the stadium for the previous 8 months, but their rights ended after the January 5, 2010, FedEx Orange Bowl game. The stadium has had 7 different names since it first opened as Joe Robbie Stadium in 1987. The other names were: Pro Player Park, Pro Player Stadium, Dolphins Stadium, Dolphin Stadium and Land Shark Stadium. There are 3 teams that call this stadium home: the Dolphins, the Marlins and the University of Miami. The Marlins will be moving into their own stadium in 2012.
A contest was held in 1965 to find the name of the new Miami franchise for the American Football League. 19,843 entries were submitted with over a thousand different names. A dozen finalists were screened through by a seven-member committee made up of the local media, names considered included the Mariners, Marauders, Mustangs, Missiles, Moons, Sharks, and Suns. The winning name, "Dolphins," was submitted by 622 entrants. Mrs. Robert Swanson of West Miami won lifetime passes to Dolphin games when her nickname entry successfully predicted the winner and score of the 1965 football game between Notre Dame and the University of Miami, a scoreless tie.
There are 41 known species of dolphins today.

Please specify whether you asking about names of types, or names for adopted dolphins.
In the early 80s the Miami Dolphins' defense were known as the Killer B's because many of their starters' last names began with a B, including Kim Bokamper, Bob Baumhower, Doug Betters, and the Blackwood brothers. The Killer Bees were the NFL's top rated defense in 1982, and they led the Dolphins to the Super Bowl. By 1985 the defense had many of the same names, but was no longer a good defense. A joke referred to the team as the Miami Olphins since the team had no D.
