Need Help (Metal Related)
My roller derby team's name is problematic because of reasons. Team name is Denim Demons. BUT the theme is ossum: Undead Sailor Punk//Metal Girls
So we need a new team name. But I want to keep some (or all) elements of the team's theme.
Take note: Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7zk4as9kzA
This song essentially captures the theme of the team. You've got cursed sailors aboard an ill-fated ship, monsters of the sea, death and life-in-death, resurrection and re-death, etc. Also, the song isn't problematic in any way and honestly I would consider it to be wholesome because of the message -- don't fuck with nature for no good reason.
So I consider that song a jumping off point. I was even able to get my team to roll out to it for a game once in 2017 and we won that game so it's already got some positive juju.
Anyway, the team needs a new name, hopefully with that theme or Rime of the Ancient Mariner in mind.
Name requirements:
- Two words
- No reference to women//girls or vixens or harlots or anything like that
- Not problematic
- Bonus points if both words start with same letter
I hope y'all can help me. I haven't been able to come up with something myself. I'm afraid if I don't have a really good suggestion they'll make the team into some boring thing and we'll lose the metal//punk aspect of the team. I want to keep derby weird, these days it's getting watered down and made palatable to average people, which there's some positives there, but I don't want it to lose its counter-culture ethic. This team name thing is part of my quiet struggle.

No matter how many times you say it, Barnacle Buddies is never going to be a thing.

Barnacle Buddies sounds like something out of a SpongeBob episode.
