I know I seem very demanding lately (write on my blog, damnit) and also maybe obsessed with captains, but I really need your help on this one, for my other captain role this time. I just realized that I need to pick out a "captain name" for my Ride the Ducks persona. Judging by the names of all my co-workers, this name should be a bad pun. Other captains include: "Cody Pendent," "Rusty Steele," "Al O. Yula"* and finally, the only other female captain supposedly goes by "Helen Wheels," which reminds me of a quality blog post I once read.
Ashley had the brilliant idea of looking at Roller Derby names** for inspiration. Although most would probably need a little adaptation since the point of roller derby is causing pain and being sexually suggestive while doing so, which doesn't seem to fit that well with the "wholesome family entertainment" image that Ride the Ducks of Seattle is going for.
So, please feel free to leave any and all suggestions. And if you need any more incentive other than helping me out, I'll give the winner a cut of any tips that the name generates ;)

*Yeah, I didn't get it either. Supposed to be like "Hallelujah."
**I've only looked at the Gotham Girls Roller Derby teams so far and already there are some great ones: Carmen Monoxide. Beatrix Slaughter. Beonslay.

Thanks for the shoutout buddy. And yes, I hate it when no one comments. For some reason, when I read this, all I could think of were the terrible puns they use on the Jungle Cruise in Disney World. I did a little research and I think they're incredibly appropriate since they too are water related..."Ilene Dover", her friend "Anne Fellen" etc. etc.
Something to do with ducks... hmm... quack duck mallard...
Mal' (Short for Mallory) Arduck.
There.
oooh ooh, and that way you can say, "My name's Mallory, but all my friends call me Mal. Mal Ardduck." (rim shot).
I feel like I'm in a Hasty Pudding show. :)
Captain Quack Sparrow. You did say something about wanting to be a pirate...
