more names: master list

[dragonlady7]

This is I promise the last post where I witter on about derby names.

Subdivided by category, here are all the names I can think of. I'm posting the master list partly because I'm putting the URL of this post on the qcrg yahoo mailing list and the girls are free to take any they see and like, as I can't use all of these. Also I'm hoping for help in finding out which of these are registered.

Edit: Here's the registry. Thanks, Pi! Damn it, so many good ones are taken...

1. Real and Pun Names

a) fairy tales / myths / fiction books/movies
Goldirocks
Scarlett O'Scara
Morrigan (the Queen of Demons is probably too obscure but dude how cool would that be? Her alternate names are Macha, Badb, and Nemain; Nemain means "panic" but is hard to spell.)
Brigantia (likewise the Gaulish war goddess for whom I am named might not scan well with the popular crowd)

Bo-dacia (pun on the word "bodacious" and the name of the Gaulish queen who killed all those Romans)

Boom-Hilda / Zoom-Hilda (Brunhilda being the leader of the Valkyries)
edit: Bah! This one is taken!

b) celebrities
Courtney Shove
Gore-ia Steinem

c) historical references
Anne Crushinson (is Anne Hutchinson too obscure? Doubtless. But my ancestors were involved in her antinomianism plot thing and they named a highway in the Bronx for her...)
Annie Smokeley

b) i) historical / weapon names
Minnie Ball (for the Civil war musket ball, the Minie Ball, which was a distinctively lethal shape)
Screaming Meemie (a type of artillery shell common in WWII which emitted a horriffic noise)
Bridie Beretta (for the brand of pistols)
Nine Millie
B-52 [alt: B-54; B-29; all models of WWII bombing planes: Google for specs if curious]

d) just plain puns
Tara Newone
Holy Tara
Laura Gravity
Marsha Law
Athena Puddytat


2. References To My Boobs/Size/Violence

Tipsy Tits (#1 in popularity so far! You guys know me too well.)
Thunder Tits
Thunder Thighs
Effed-Up F-Cup
Fourteen Stone [but how many Americans know what a stone is?]


What do y'all think? Leave a comment. (Livejournal membership not required to leave comment, but please do sign it so I know who you are.) I'm just trying to make up my mind and can't tell whether these sound cool to anyone besides me.


I like a lot of those but I can only really see actually answering to some of them. People use these as their names in conversation and correspondence [not to mention that the pivot is going to have to yell this at me during bouts] and I'm not sure how some of the above would wear, particularly on me.
1) Goldirocks, but it's probably taken
2) Brigantia, but it's obscure and some people say it's bad form to use your real name or variations thereof
3) Tipsy Tits is a little demeaning but it's sort of cute.
4) Boom Hilda
5) Bo-dacia

I still like Tipsy Tips for the funny factor, but you're right, it is demeaning. Maybe if people called you Tipsy in conversation...

I dunno. Iguess if it were off the table, I'd vote for Boom-Hilda. Boom! :)

I'm really liking "Boom Hilda". The site to check out is: http://www.twoevils.org/rollergirls/

This is Claudia, by the way (Punk 'N Pi)

See you Wednesday, I hope!

Damn, boom hilda is already taken.

Boom Hilda is taken! Noooo!
*dies*

Time to start over. Bah. I keep having more ideas.

Your name is funny, though.

Do you have a pink Stella? Is that you?
I love your icon too.

Well, anyway, hi! *waves hi*

I like the Boudica theme. Saw the PBS version with Alex Kingston - definitely works for me and I think it would work well for you , too.

Goldirocks is already taken (as Goldie Rocks). :(

I really like Tipsy Tits, though!

That one's way up there in popularity...

I'm taking a weekend off to think about it.
