Sport appropriate athletes

[MIsty Blades/Skate Mom]

There is a player named Tennys Sandgren from Tennessee who is doing well at the 2018 Australian Open right now. He made it to 4th Round and will play the #5 player in the world.

Are there any skaters named after our sport? I know jumps are named after people, so maybe some skating parents could give their kids skating names to inspire them.

If I had a boy, I would name him "Axel Lutz Blades" or if I had a girl, I'd name her Spiral Loop Blades".

Because my daughter quit skating, I'm forced to live vicariously and/or take adult lessons to get it out of my system.

What would you name your skating kids?

Flip Salchow?

Why don't you change your own name to "Spiral Loop Blades", why make your kid suffer a lifetime of bullying with such names.

I'm too lazy. My kid quit skating anyway.

Why don't you change your own name to "Spiral Loop Blades", why make your kid suffer a lifetime of bullying with such names.

I think Gracie Gold and Starr Andrews are as close as it gets.
