Tangerine Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I know some of you would be amazing at this! I am trying out for a Roller Derby team in 6 weeks. Trials begin this month. I am loving coming up with names, but there is an international roster of derby names that doesn't permit duplicates. Some of my fantastic ideas that somebody already had were Tawdry Hepburn, Flay Wray, and Doris Danger. Leading the pack right now that aren't taken are Jane Tussle, and Hedy LaScarr. Now, they don't HAVE to be golden era actress puns, those just happen to be my favorites. I would love suggestions from the Hive if you've got ideas. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor_dad Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 You could go for a cyberpunk theme with Ada LoveRace. or do something with a Tank Girl theme. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Library Momma Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 That's awesome!! Why do I feel it needs to have something to do with Tangerines? Tangy Roller, Juicy Lucy? This is fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 You could go for a cyberpunk theme with Ada LoveRace. or do something with a Tank Girl theme. I like the scientist route! I also thought about RBG, but I'm thinking everything would end up being taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may get completely juiced, so it might be appropriate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs_JWM Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 These are great! A friend and I dressed in roller-derby costumes once and went as Kim Karbashian and Paris Kiltem. Sent from my XT1049 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyStoner Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The registry is not a binding requirement even for most WFTDA leagues anymore. There's too many inactive skaters or skaters who registered a name but never got serious and junior league skater names for the registry to work. You just need a name that is unique in your area and, because you're not a jerk, isn't cribbed from a notable skater. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word Nerd Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 How fun! About a decade ago I considered training and trying out for a local derby team but chickened out. I wish I would've at least tried. Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
