how did you come up with your derby name?

are there any cool stories behind them? what made you think of this particular name and how does it apply to you? have you created an 'alter ego' to suit this name?

    My new derby name is my nickname, my old one (Ivanna Shoverova) was suggested by my ex after he listened to the names some tennis players have.

    ahahahhaa that's awesome! whenever i can finally get to the point of registering it, my derby name will be 'etta flamez'..i just loved the fact that she was a soulful rock and roller and her fiery attitude reminds me of my own similarities to her, hence the 'flamez' part.

    The one I really wanted has now been taken *sad face* but I think I've picked a new one.

    aww that sucks :( i hear there's a huge lag in between submitting a name and it being accepted and sometimes people snatch it up.

    I used to work at Renaissance Faires. Some friends wrote a show called "Capn' Bynkie, featuring the Irate Pirates" and I loved it.
    I wish it had become a popular skit for the road.

    Anyway, I have loved pirates since I was super little. And I will always love them.

    So, I became the Irate Pirate, :-)

    I lost my 19 year old cousin to a brutal murder in 2007. A month later, I saw my first derby game and was instantly in love with the sport. Losing my baby girl (cousins in my family are raised more like siblings than cousins) really showed me that life can be unfairly short and that I shouldn't be afraid to take chances. My skate name, Jacked Hart, is not only a play on her name, Jackie Hartman, but also a declaration of the loss of part of my heart when I lost her. My skate number, 10-15, was her birthday.

    My derby name is Davy Rock-Hit... Obviously to resemble Davy Crockett. I like what he stood for and how he interacted in the politics of his time. I also think I look great in a coon hat LOL

    My derby name is Squat Rack, because when I'm not training for derby, I'm in the squat rack!

    I picked Flirty Martini

    I'm surprised it hasn't been taken...knowing my luck, by the time they get to registering mine, someone will have taken it already. ah well.

    But the name couldn't suit me better. I'm one helluva flirt, and my drink of choice is anything in a martini glass.

    I'm Mean Deneen - Deneen is my middle name and when I was in trouble, my mother would scream, "Mean Deneen get your @ss in here!"

    I like to tap into that mean, bullying behavior on the track. ;)
