Manatee30444 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hey Can some of my fellow Rush fans help me choose a Roller Derby name that is Rush inspired? I am working up the ranks of my local team and need to start thinking of my derby name, I am hoping to get the number 2112, but need an awesome name. My real name is Melissa and I have to go with something Rush, because they have always been my life, I even got the Rush explosion logo tattooed on the inside of my forearm! I know you fans got this!! Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Okay, just to help out anybody who's not up on roller derby (and I'm going by the movie "Whip It" here), the idea here is to take a Rush song or album title and turn it into a girl's name, but it also needs to sound really badass, like you'd be wrecked if you skated against her. Here are some examples from the movie: Eve Of Destruction --> Eva Destruction Iron Maiden --> Iron Maven Buddy Holly --> Bloody Holly Ashley Simpson --> Smashley Simpson wanna beatin'? --> Juana Beat'n kamikaze --> Kami Kaze So it's gotta be a badass-sounding girl's name, but still be recognizable as a Rush reference. Hook the girl up! "Caress Of Steel" seems like it could be worked into something.... (Manatee, I altered your thread title a bit to better define your request.)

Manatee30444 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 You rock! Thanks! I couldn't have said it better! I knew this was the place to go to get amazing feedback! It has to be Rush inspired and sound kick ass! I appreciate you helping out a newbie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Apr 20 2012, 11:18 AM) "Caress Of Steel" seems like it could be worked into something.... Steel Caress. It's definitely not a man's name. But it sounds like a tough woman to me. Another variation of a song name: Scar. Sometimes the one syllable names are the best. Manatee, welcome to TRF. Now, go out there and put someone in a coma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manatee30444 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 You guys rock! So far my favorite is Steel Caress, it doesnt have to have a girls name in it, just a kick-ass name. My initial was going to be Lady C"RUSH"er but I know I can do better than that!! Keep them coming so I can pick a favorite and wear it proudly..(I even have Rush stickers..on my helmet!) Thanks!!!!!

That's my fave so far. It's a girl's name, it's badass, and it sounds like the Rush album title. In comparison (sorry Blaze), "Steel Caress" sounds like the name of a hair metal band, and not like a Rush reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
