Roller derby names inspired by operations research

By Laura Albert

I’ve been reading the graphic novel Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson with my nine year old daughter. It’s great! My daughter reads while I listen and fantasize about optimization inspired roller derby names. Here is what I came up with so far.

Optimization Roller derby names I’m considering:

Convex Hell
Facility Laceration
Benders Deconstruction
Carnage Generation
Linear Aggression (or Logistic Aggression!)
Branch & Bomb
… or maybe Branch & Kill  or  Branch & Punish
Out-of-KILLter
Quadratic Assault Problem
Sublinear Rage of Convergence
Cutting Plane (this is probably OK as is)

I don’t roller derby, but I’d like to. What would you add?
