Word geeks: I need your help!! Derby name needed... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

BenChuy · 08-13-2009, 03:18 PM

My spouse is now in a roller derby team (think xanadu, but not effing stupid) and I have been pulled in to ref. Now, for those that don't know, Derby players as well as refs need Names.

Derby names are odd. They are usually funny and are best with groan inducing puns included. One example that I thought up that was already taken was Adolf Whistler.

Any suggestions?

What kind of theme do you want it to have? Want it to be dirty, silly, witty, what? Help me out here so I can help you out :-P

The Vulcan Death Grip.

Get a tooth hat and call yourself Molar Derby.

BenChuy · 08-13-2009, 03:44 PM

@Bear Cub: ok. that is kinda awesome.

I am looking for witty, geeky, etc. Dirty to a point, but there are kids that sometimes attend these and I don't want it to be too blatant.

BTW, I am 6'3", muscular, Nurse with glasses. I don't know if that helps.

Silly is always very fun, highdro69.

Sadly, Hugh Refner is taken. This is why this is hard.

for the curious, this is the site that I have to check my names against:

I'm trying to think of a Syngman Rhee/referee name, but I just can't think of anything that works.

jewels · 08-14-2009, 02:30 AM

You could always use this.

mixedmedia · 08-14-2009, 05:42 AM

ah, I know understand that we were supposed to be offering individual names and not team names...

guy44 · 08-15-2009, 08:45 AM

Male nurse? You could go with Murse Snatcher. Laurence Fightingale? This is kinda fun.

guttercup · 08-15-2009, 04:29 PM

Mommy Dearest is always good. not matter who you are.

What's your spouses name? Maybe something like it? Or punny with it.

PulpMind · 08-16-2009, 02:55 AM

Yerouta Myleague

The Pointer Whistlers (80s music reference AND a reference to the defining two physical actions rollerderby referees take--pointing and whistling. Though it's probably best for a team of refs...)
