I wish I could take credit for coming up w/ my name,but I cant. A friend of mine did. I love it tho! My real name is Joy. If u think abt it, you'll figure out how she came up w/ my derby name. It happens to be Oprah's favorite word to use for a particular body part ;o)

I am a HUGE STAR WARS fan  Shaak Ti is a female Jedi Knight so I just changed that up a bit to make it Shock Ti as in Pow & Shock!! Anywho, my number is 1138 which is a George Lucas thang. His first film before the STAR WARS films was THX 1138 & he uses that number throughout the STAR WARS & Indiana Jones flix as well. So there you have it |

I have always loved pin-ups and the image of vintage strong, yet beautiful girls and love the name Betty. I thought of hundreds of things to go with it but my husband just shouted Betty Bounce 'Em and that was it. I think it brings up the pin-up idea and is still cute, playful and maybe a little but tough. #87 because I love ice hockey and always wanted to play but never did. I realized how much hockey and derby have in common so i decided I should use Sidney Crosby's # because he is amazing at hockey and I aspire to be an amazing derby girl!

I just finished th book RollerGirl by Melissa Joulwan and she gave good explanation of names and how to develop one...
WHAT’S YOUR ROLLERGIRL NAME? Rollergirls are (in)famous for their punny names, equal parts hubris and humor. The questions below can help you come up with a Rollergirl name of your own. Of course, you could always rely on the porn-star name formula (name of your first pet plus the name of the street on which you grew up), but then you could end up calling yourself Fluffy Maple. And that just won’t do.
Here are some examples to get you started on the name game:
Does your real name lend itself to something naughty?
Melissa/Melanie, aka Melificent, Mel Feasance, Mel A. Noma (and, of course, Melicious) Annie, aka Annie Social, Annie Hero Dee, aka Dee Generate, Dee Stroyer, Dee V. Ant Meredith/Mary, aka Merry Death, Merry Go Round Anita, aka Anita Drink, Anita Mann Marsha, aka Marsha Law Or simply, Randy (or go Porn Star: Randie with a smiley face over the i)
What’s better than a little sex and violence? Melicious = malicious + delicious Dee Fightful = delightful + fight The Knock-out Kitty Kitty Bang Bang
Do you have a personal attribute you can exploit? hair color? ethnicity? Blond Bomber Rice Rocket Ragin’ Cajun
Concerned with formal social salutations? Miss Fit Miss Creant Ms. Behavin’ Madame X-rated
Can you twist a celebrity’s name? Payne Mansfield Raquel Welcher Bettie Rage Pattie Hurts Bratty Duke Mia Hammer Or pair up with a pal? Rolletta Lynn & Patsy Crime Spank Sinatra, Dean Smartin’, Slammy Davis Jr. Moonshine & Jen Entonic
How ’bout a fictional character? Boobarella Skaterella Cruella de Kill Hotlips Hooligan Nancy Drewblood Jane Ire Lady McDeath Or a writer? Judy Boom Agony Christie E.M. Forcer Rudyard Cripling Bomb Clancy (She’s a Clear and Present Danger.)
Or your favorite cocktail? Jen Fizz White Lightnin’ Bloody Mary
Can you adapt the name of a band? Freakwood Smack Rebellika Uzi Quatro Kid Vicious
Or use alliteration or rhyming? Blitzkrieg Betty Julie Jawbreaker Dottie Karate
Can you find something you like in the dictionary? animosity, becomes Anna Mosity degenerate, becomes Dee Generate anti-establishment, becomes Annie Establishment
Can you corrupt a cliché? Robbing the cradle, aka Robin d’Cradle Eve of destruction, aka Eva Destruction Alive and kicking, aka Olive N. Kickin’
Is gambling the answer? Asa Spades High Roller Crushin’ Roulette
Maybe you identify more with an object? The Wrench The Crusher The Vise The Blade
Or a profession? Hydra (hydrologist by day, skater by night) The Professor The Assassin The Enforcer
Or can you appropriate a film title? Kitty Kitty Bang Bang Debbie D. Dallas Robin D’Hood
Maybe a porn star name isn’t so bad? Trixie Pixie Bambi Brandy Candy Boom-Boom Cha-Cha Sin-D
Wanna be threatening? Celia Fate Faye Tality Juana Rumble Or
maybe inflict a little pain? Billie Club Dagger Deb Bella Donna
Bonus points: Can you combine more than one category? Miss + stripper name + dictionary = Misty Meaner
personal attribute (red hair) + celebrity name + violence = Lucille Brawl
real name + booze = Jen Entoni
booze + celebrity name = Whiskey L’Amour
Developing a Rollergirl persona can go deeper than smoke-and-mirrors entertainment. We Rollergirls have found that our on-track personas can help us in our real lives, too. Even if you’re not ready to lace up skates of your own, you might be able to learn something about yourself and better ways to deal with life if you give yourself a Rollergirl name and try on a new persona to see how it fits.
