I always thought Dinah Cancer in 45 Grave was pretty clever.

My friend Leslie used to date a guy who played guitar in some go-nowhere punk band whose "punk name" was Jerry Agony. Turns out his actual name was Jerry Garcia which -- it strikes me -- would've been much funnier.

Vi Subversa was always one of my favorites... as was Lora Logic.

My favourite punk name is probably Ed Banger (& the Nosebleeds).

The singer of the Straps is Scottish and therefore goes by the charming name of Jock Strap.

Fay Fife.

Also, I thought 'The top award for loyalty to your punk name above and beyond' goes to Robert Gotobed, who only reverted back to Robert Grey in 2003 and the "Send" album

Well, Charlie Harper still goes by Charlie Harper in 2005, so I think not.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 10:54 (twenty years ago)

See also Captain Sensible etc. So in fact, Robert Gotobed doesn't deserve such a reward at all! Poop.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 10:55 (twenty years ago)

Well, inasmuch as I'd got convinced that it must be his real name! (After at least ten years of thinking it was a punkname)

What's Charlie's?

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 11:07 (twenty years ago)

Do Roller Derby pseudonyms count? If so, "Iron Maidenform" is awesomeful.

― nancyboy (nancyboy), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 11:09 (twenty years ago)

Charlie Harper's real name is David Perez.

Darby Crash and Will Shatter are great punk names!
