Derby name

In November 2004, Axles of Evil proposed that a centralised record of derby names be created, and Hydra then launched the roster publicly.

[8] Hydra passed responsibility for the roster to Paige Burner, Soylent Mean and Jelly HoNut late the following year, by which point it already had more than two thousand entries.

[11] The International Rollergirls' Master Roster has other restrictions, such as prohibitions on names starting with possessives, ending with gerunds, or very general, such as "Skater".

For example, when Mad Rollin' Dolls skater Crackerjack attempted to trademark her name, in order to license it for use in a video game, she was sued by the manufacturers of the Cracker Jack snack food.

This may be due to dissatisfaction with the name which they used in the past,[13] or, like leading London Rollergirls skater Stephanie Mainey, in an effort to legitimise the sport.
