Derby girls unite!

I'm working on an InCryptid-universe novella called "Bad Dream Girl," about Antimony and roller derby. And I need derby names!

So here's your chance. Suggest your best, wildest roller derby names, following these simple rules. The best derby names will appear in the story, giving you bragging rights. The rules:

1. Avoid profanity.
2. Sexual and violent innuendo is cool, "kill them all" is not.
3. Do not intentionally use the name of an existing derby girl.

I'm looking for terrible puns and bad jokes in name form. There is a database of roller derby names; I'm not using it both because it's extensive enough to have become extremely tortured, and because I'd like some believable variety. So come on. Help a girl out, and take to the track with Antimony and her team.

Game on!

don't know if it's useful for this team, but I've always sworn my derby name, if I went out for it, would be "Blue Stalkings" (the blue hair and the intellectual proclivities help with the context.)
That's lovely.

I got nothin' off the top of my head, but I know 2 people who are really into roller derby, and I've sent them links to this post.

Hopefully, they'll have ideas for you.
Thanks!

I will love you for all time.

Very nice.
For the team name with a cinema theme...."Lock Stock and 5 Smokin' Babes"? (substitute whatever number is appropriate)

Blunt Force Rhonda
Nice.
This isn't very helpful, but in my own works, I make reference to the Tuesday University Trollops and the Caravan Street Hussies, part of the Puxhill Rollergirl League. :) They have an epic rivalry. I'm pretty sure they named each other in a drunken fit, back in the dark ages. :)
That makes me happy.
Queenie Croce: To honor the late, great Jim Croce who wrote the wonderful song "Roller Derby Queen"

However, recalling the lyrics also gives us "Mina Stonka" (Meanest hunk-a woman anybody ever seen.)
Hee.

I had another good one pop into my head recently, but forgot it.

If you want to check against ones in use and didn't already know about this: www.twoevils.org/rollergirls/</p>

Ah, yes, you did know. That's what I get for not reading all the way to the end. The Official List is crazy huge these days.
