Whats in a Name?

So, at the cusp of a new dawn of Roller Derby for Nottingham, we have the joyous task of both naming the team and naming ourselves.  I have been rattling around some potential names for the Nottingham Roller Girls and i would love some feedback – and if you have thought of any others which you think would be great, let me know!

(By the way, sometimes i write just like i think, so please try and ingnore the ramblings if you can :D )

  • Nottingham Roller Girls
  • Notts Moxie Molls     (Gangster, get it?)
  • Notts Hoodlum Hotties     (Like Robin Hood.)
  • Notts you out      (play on words, get it?….Knock you out?……No? …..ok)
  • Notts Night Rollers      (like Knight Rider?  No?)
  • Notts Femme Fatales
  • Nottingham Steel Wheels (double meaning – steel wheels of roller skates and steal your wheels -as in off your car-  Nottingham is famous for:)
  • Notts Lacing Ladies    (yeah, not great, but something to do with nottingham Lace, alliteration?  No? ok.)

Additional-

Other names i am pondering
derby dynamos?  (play on the NRG)
Rollerderby Rockets
Notts Derby Ducks (eh up me duck)
Derby devils
Nottingham Nitros

I kinda like Notts You Out, but it sounds more like a player name than a team name.
And as much as there is the robin hood connection its a cliche thats been done to death I do think Hoodlum Hotties is kinda good.

Something I did just spot though – Nottingham Roller Girls – N.R.G. – ‘Energy’
There could be a thing with that
– Atomic Notts Roller Girls? Atomic NRG? (haveto admit Atomic Notts for short has a ring to it)
– Nuclear NRG?
– Boundless NRG?

Hey interesting, hadn’t spotted the NRG, and yes Atomic Notts does kind of trip of the tongue.

I am not sure about the whole robin hood connection – i know it is kind of the main thing about Nottingham, but i just think a name based on in needs to be good so it doesn’t sound too twatty, but yes Hoodlum Hotties i am quite keen on :) but then Mayhem Maidens isn’t bad, or Iron Maidens……..?

and i do agree with ‘Notts you out’ sounding a bit too team namey.

hmmmmm – will have a ponder and see if i can come up with anymore….
