Boo Boo Radley took the trophy for Best Roller Derby Nickname award in our Best of Denver 2012 — but these athletes have been on a roll while picking their monikers, and Melanie Asmar came up with ten more great roller derby handles in “Denver’s eleven best roller derby nicknames.”

Battle E. Portman, for example.
