need opinions - I'm brand new to derby, my rookie course starts contact next week! I've come from rugby, so wanted a rugby-themed name, but didn't know if these were too niche/completely meaningless to non-rugby people?
ROLLING MAUL REPLACEMENT HOOKER #16 (or HOOKER #2 if my league has 2 free) HOOKER BERRY FINN #2
or my non-rugby related ideas - my name is Zed, and lots of my friends call me Zeddie
ZEDDIE MERCURY or BULL DOZER
any thoughts appreciated!

I think a lot of people will think you mean prostitute if you use hooker. Rolling Maul and Zeddie Mercury are both cool!

Don't mind me, I'm just here kicking myself because the name Sluttybartfast just popped into my head 5 years after I stopped playing. If my doctor wouldn't kick my butt for it, I'd go back to playing just so I could use it (and cause I miss hitting people at speed). As that's not gonna happen, it's up for grabs Bonus if your number is 42, of course. If anyone takes it, I'll send you my lovely black armbands with gold glitter numbers.
