So if you look around their locale, there are the Capitals, Nationals, and Wizards. So Washington may want to have a name relating to such terms.

I have thought of three new names

Washington Senators
Washington Gentlemen
Washington Revolution (this one might be offensive)

The first one really stands out to me.

Another standout is using an old NFL nickname. After all, the Texans adopted the old Chiefs nickname when they were in Dallas.

Washington Oilers

That may have some resonance with the NFC East and not make Washington stand out like they haven't been around for years. The downside is Oilers represent oil, a staple of Texas. Like Ewing Oil.

Also, with these names, Washington can still keep their burgundy and gold colors.

For the Senators, I imagine Senators to be spelled in gold with burgundy shadowing and in the middle, the main logo, a thin white shadow figure with a bow-tie and handlebar mustache. Almost like the monopoly millionaire figure or Planters peanuts figure.

For the Gentleman, a white-illuminated clear wine glass of white wine in a sea of burgundy(the background). For this one, the gold goes. "Gentlemen" is in white font.

As for the Revolution, This would have the team name in gold with burgundy shadowing, and an American Flag. But again, this would be offensive to a lot of people. It could also be a little alternated by changing from burgundy to red or blue with the title in white with blue or red shadowing titling.

The Oilers make the most sense, it has that nostalgic effect. And it can be in the same team colors. But D.C. does not stand for oil.
Name the Washington franchise.

The Redskins Need A New Mascot?

Just exactly how do you think anyone is going to get Snyder to finally cave and change the team name?

This battle has been going on for years, there is no way he changes the name now.

I voted other. I rather like the "Redhogs". Pays tribute to "The Hogs" and they can keep their HTTR song and branding.

Plus, and more importantly, they can sell delicious whole hog BBQ at the games

Warriors would be a terrible choice. I will laugh at that name. Redhawks makes the most sense out of the bandied options, certainly not the Redtails.
