Seriously, I can’t get a consensus from my friends. Help me pick out a Derby name.
Possible Derby names:
Dottie Hazzard (after a local madame from the 1900s who ran a brothel near where we have our practice/bouts)
or
Erzebet B. Bad (after the Blood Countess, Erzebet Bathory, a descendent of Transelvanian native whom Valentine’s Day is named after, who killed young maidens to soak in their blood because she thought it would make her look younger)
or
Lucy Burns – Womens Suffrage Movement leader
or something else…
–Nameless Roller derby hopeful
Well, Hopefully, I really like Dottie Hazzard. I certainly wouldn’t fuck with you if that was your name. The most important things about a roller derby name are that 1) you like it, 2) it reflects an aspect of yourself, 3) that it’s catchy and easy to remember, and 4) that it strike fear into the hearts of others immediately. I think Dottie Hazzard does this best. Erzebet B. Bad is cool, but not so easy to remember. Lucy Burns sounds like Mr. Burns plain sister. And it certainly doesn’t strike fear like Dottie Hazzard. I bet Dottie Hazzard could outdrink me and my father’s rugby team. Lucy Burns is a cheap date.
