Let’s Play What’s Your Derby Name!
In my spare time I like to come up with theoretical roller derby names (yeah… that is what I do in my spare time). But no one wants to be a big ol’ copy cat, right? So I check my names against the international roller derby roster to see if they’re already taken. Like my […]
