Help me come up with a Roller Derby Name!

[Em2121]

Hi -

I just passed my basic training and am joining a roller derby team. Now I need a pseudonym, and it needs to be one that isn't already in use. It needs to be clean enough for my kids to yell it when I play, have my name Emma/Em in it, and they are usually some sort of a pun.

The list of names that have gone is here:

Any ideas welcome!

Best thread ever! I love a pun.

Off the top of my head, all I have is Empathy for the Devil, but I"m working on it...

Dial M for Murder?

Duh, should been Dial Em for Murder, obvs

I love them both! So much better than anything I've come up with. I just don't have a knack for puns...

Seriously, my husband and I spend so much time thinking up puns and daft names for things like this....we're massive geeks. I was telling my dad about our ideas for a mole extermination service the other day named either Apocalypse Mole (not strictly a pun), Mole In One, or Any Mole is a Goal, and he gave me a pitying look and said "you two make your own fun, don't you?". This from a man who would happily spend a week looking round a lawnmower museum.

Embattle - but no pun

Dis EM bowel -inator !!
EMbrace my wrath

The Empress

*EMpire strikes back

Thanks Custardo - I like The Empress too :-).

LOL @ Apocalypse Mole. I love non-puns - my favourite one was a hairdresser called "Aspects of Hair". Cracked me up every time.

'I just passed my basic training and am joining a roller derby team.'

I could weep I'm so jealous!

I would totally ignore my name and go for something like Chesty Magee or Busty Laroux, but that's just me

yes yes busty laroux

ditto

looks inside tshirt. Nope, that's not going to work.

LOVE Empire Strikes Back! (dammit my punning powers are fading - why didn't I think of this?!)

Hahaha "Aspects of Hair" - brilliant!

Husband just came up with Em I Five, I quite like that...

@Songbird - it's THE BEST fun, and there are teams everywhere now. You should take a look and see if there's one local to you.

Oh Em Gee?! I woke up thinking about this!

Just had a quick look (bloody nor there are loads) at the names already gone and there's a 'convicted melons'

Songbird me too!! We are clearly desperate to be roller derby girls...(love Oh Em Gee, btw)

My contribution for today is nEMesis

My mate plays on a roller derby team. Are you UK or US? Because that list was US names.

She's Onya Case. but we like to chant she's on ya face when we've had a few too many beers

ooh, just discovered that my nearest city has a roller derby team and a beginners day on 30th June....

Don't you learn some wonderful things on mumsnet?

Only 2 1/2 months to sort my co-ordination so I can actually skate then.

Ow, and how about "Her Emmanence"?

Thanks everyone! I love Oh Em Gee, may go with that.

Good luck with the fresh meat training, PPS!

oh god, do I want to know why it's called fresh meat training?

I used to play roller derby. Loved it.

I was looking at roller derby for something to do but do you have to be young? I am mid 30s!

OrangeFootedScrubfowl no, I'm 39! xx
