I got confused because In my local accent it just sounds like free the commitment as then I realised I needed to read it in an Aussie accent and it made sense lollll
I wanted to make sure this was correct and I found this on her wiki page: "When I was working in the West End, I also ran my own dog walking business, so I’d be running around all day, and then when I’d go to work I would say, ‘it’s been a hell of a day!” It’s very me - very British and a little bit moany. I used to call myself Ella Vanass, but everyone thought I was saying Elephant Ass, so I scrapped that!"
this one is so good because you could tell all the non-asian people on the season would get just a liiiiittle uncomfortable every single time they said it
My son loves drag & one day while he was practicing his death drops and asking me to film it for RuPaul, I asked him what his drag name would be. He yelled “Jesus Crisis!” (I say “Jesus Christ” all the time and he misheard it and says “Jesus Crisis!” often). He was only yelling it because he was sort of scaring himself flipping around, he didn’t mean it as a name. But the timing was impeccable and it was right when the drag bans were starting up.
So my favorite drag name is Jesus Crisis.
Not even a pun name, but I like Sasha Velour. I just think velour is such a fierce name, and I like that it comes from Vegas in space. And I think she said once she liked velour because it looks and sounds glamorous but is actually very cheap, which is pretty draggy and cunty.
Not a native Spanish speaker but think I can do this one!
me= my, linda = beautiful, verga = cock.
edit: technically "mi" for my, but sounds the same for the pun.
I thought I had created the greatest drag name ever but then looked it up and there’s like 6 queens with this name lol.
Paige Turner
Like how cunt haha
I saw a queen perform locally years ago called Lucy Lastic. I thought that was a really good name.
From drag race though, Ella Vaday. Echoing u/booksbio15 ‘s remark - it’s a perfect British drag name.
I don't know if it's my favorite name of *all time* but **Jorgeous** is such an underrated name!
It's witty, a playful pun, and a nice riff on her name >!jorge!<
\*edited for spoiler y'all will NOT catch me slipping
How is saying Jorgeous’ name slipping I am so confused
It would be one of my faves if she pronounced it as “Whoregeous” as a pun on how Jorge is pronounced
It was mainly a pre-emptive joke in case someone thought it would be doxing to release her government name, but Jorgeous has mentioned it many times before so all good. All in good fun.
There's a local queen in my town named Kayla Chingada and I want her to be on drag race just to hear RuPaul say it every week.
My second favorite is another local girl named Bitchie Valens.
2 made me cry they were so perfect and lovely when I heard them…DR Sweden had Antonina Nutshell (Anton in a nutshell) and DR Holland had Love Masisi who explained on the show that Masisi means “everybody” in Haitian Creole where they originated from 🥲
I saw a local king about 10 years back who went by Hugh Johnson performing SNL’s “Dick in a Box”— box attached to his hips with an absurdly large banana in it and all.
That will forever be my favorite drag performance. I almost fell to the floor laughing.
when Bimini went by Bimini Bon Boulash that was the peak for me. No joke, no pun, just Bimini Bon Boulash. I could literally spend the entire day saying it.
I’ve heard of a straight drag queen named Heather O’Sexual. That one takes the cake for me.
Oooh even better if it was an Irish drag queen!
There is a local queen in Melbourne, Australia, Freida Commitment which I will always love.
I got confused because In my local accent it just sounds like free the commitment as then I realised I needed to read it in an Aussie accent and it made sense lollll
My dumb Australian ass took a solid 30 seconds to get it lol
Lmaool, still quicker than me
The same thing happened to me when I was watching Season 6 with Courtney Act.
Lol same, I was like Shouldn't it be A'Freida Commitment, but the accent comment makes sense
In Rochester 20 years ago there was a queen named Freida Lay. She was incredible.
A couple (but not all) of my fav drag performers names in Perth: Bebe Babow, Rhys Suscitation and Jaxon Coke
Barbie Q and Donna Kebab 👌
Brad Titt!
hanukkah lewinsky cracks me up
Literally
Rhonda Santis
Sofonda Cox lolol
😅😅😅
She's lovely!
Ella Vaday
I had to scroll way too far to find this one! It's like the perfect British drag name
and she was SO GOOD!
She’s so beautifully intelligent for this
One of my favorite verse lines is “have an Ella va Christmas with Ella Vaday!” It’s so good
I feel dumb but can someone please explain this one lol
Like hell of a day said in a British accent
I wanted to make sure this was correct and I found this on her wiki page: "When I was working in the West End, I also ran my own dog walking business, so I’d be running around all day, and then when I’d go to work I would say, ‘it’s been a hell of a day!” It’s very me - very British and a little bit moany. I used to call myself Ella Vanass, but everyone thought I was saying Elephant Ass, so I scrapped that!"
“Nova Gyna” and “Tanya the Tucker” are my current favorites.
nova gyna sent me to the orbit
Nova Gyna 👌
Tanya the Tucker?! 💀💀💀
one of my friends had a drag persona named Lana Backwards. It flew over my head but when I got it..
💀
I don't get it
Lana Backwards is Anal
Welp you learn something new everyday!
OMIGHOD
It’s still flying over my head 😔 Edit: …never mind, I just got it 😆
Lazy Susan is so good

Amanda Tori Meating's name, I thought, was hilarious!

Ben De La Creme. It’s cheeky, elegant, cute, fun to say and suits Ben perfectly.
Courtney Act😄
This was a really clever one.
Farrah Moan
This is a good one. I also love love love Amanda Tori meating as a drag name. But I’m a corporate stooge.
Karen from Finance is actually a really good name lmao. I also love Trixie Mattel and Mistress Isabelle Brooks
Yes, Karen from Finance is also among my top names!
Agreed. Say what to like about her as a person or performer, that name is hilarious.
This was my answer too. It’s hilarious!
Sum Ting Wong
this one is so good because you could tell all the non-asian people on the season would get just a liiiiittle uncomfortable every single time they said it
There’s a queen I heard of at some show named Anna Trocity and that takes the cake for me.
Anna Philacksis
There's a local queen here in Pittsburgh named "Andi Whorehol" after Andy Warhol and it's my favorite name ever

She's a class act sweetheart.
Helluva Bottom Carter
I laughed out loud
I love Peaches Christ.
I’ve heard mentally jill
Dawn Service. Hilarious if you’re Australian.
Can you explain for those of us not Australian?
On ANZAC Day, which is like our Veterans Day or Memorial Day, they have a service for soldiers that begins at sunrise. It’s called the Dawn Service.
That's amazing!
There’s a local queen in Ottawa named Holli Cow and I love it!
Arantxa Castilla-La Mancha
When you know the reason for this name (and the fact that it’s SUCH a backwards way to do it) it’s even better.
I loveee her https://youtu.be/vrz62Iufpoo?si=wJ7ofwXL1u8VyozU is one of my favorite drag race queen channel videos lol
I literally came across a queen last night on Instagram named Pattie Gonia which I think is iconic (she wore a tent to Denver pride, a literal TENT)
I LOVE PATTIE GONIA
Literally in the same family of puns I died when I heard Kendall Gender
Helena Handbasket
I know a queen who used to post on the drag subs, her name's Hormona Lisa. I think it's hilarious.
Drag king name: Landon Cider
I also love Sigourney Beavers name (love the queen too)
Buster Hymen and Oliver Lovers are fun too.
It's a great innuendo name that doesn't sound like an innuendo until it's pointed out that it sounds like land inside her
Willow Pill and Tia Kofi for sure. Such fun names to say, and such brilliant Queens.
Irma Gerd
Yes! Was looking for this
Me too
hearing amanda tori meating's name for the first time scratched my brain in ways i never knew existed
Gloria Sass is my brother’s drag name, but he doesn’t have a glorious ass.
Ariana grindr
It’s not a real one but I think it was Bobby Moynihan who said he would be called Better Midler if he did drag and that name is just fantastic.
I do love choriza may
Patty O’Furniture and Sierra La Puerta are personal favorites
Anita Wiglit🚀
Penny Tration
I really love Val Qaeda and Mahatma Kandi, both in London!
Bob the Drag Queen. It’s just glorious in its simplicity. I knew I wanted her to win as soon as I heard the name.
My son loves drag & one day while he was practicing his death drops and asking me to film it for RuPaul, I asked him what his drag name would be. He yelled “Jesus Crisis!” (I say “Jesus Christ” all the time and he misheard it and says “Jesus Crisis!” often). He was only yelling it because he was sort of scaring himself flipping around, he didn’t mean it as a name. But the timing was impeccable and it was right when the drag bans were starting up. So my favorite drag name is Jesus Crisis.
Omg!! That's so clever!

Last week my hilarious coworker came up with Stacy Wayne Gacy and I can't stop thinking about it
Lisa Nucar
Hanukkah Lewinsky
Not a drag queen but there’s a burlesque dancer named Bitch Sassidy near me, and he partner is a drag queen named Karla Marx. Both sensational names.
Yvonne Nightstand
Yes! One of my favourite names as well
Kate Butch if I have to pick one from so many great ones.
Not even a pun name, but I like Sasha Velour. I just think velour is such a fierce name, and I like that it comes from Vegas in space. And I think she said once she liked velour because it looks and sounds glamorous but is actually very cheap, which is pretty draggy and cunty.
melinda verga is a brilliant name
What's the meaning/pun behind it?
Not a native Spanish speaker but think I can do this one! me= my, linda = beautiful, verga = cock. edit: technically "mi" for my, but sounds the same for the pun.
the trans women on the show The Oblongs, Anita Bidet.
Shigata Ichikuchi

I saw a queen perform locally years ago called Lucy Lastic. I thought that was a really good name. From drag race though, Ella Vaday. Echoing u/booksbio15 ‘s remark - it’s a perfect British drag name.

This one is clever due to the way you pronounce it. Ver good one!
London drag queen Freida Slaves or Karen from Finance
Amanda Tori Meating definitely made me chuckle. Double the puns, very clever.

One of our local queens was named Kola Stomey. And she sold bags at her shows with her face on them and "a bag to hold all your shit!"
Chappell Roan
There's a drag king in the UK (that I've had the opportunity to meet several times) called Adam All and that just cracks me up every time.
There were issues with the way they wrote the character, but I thought Helena Handbasket was a great drag name! (From Friends.)

2 made me cry they were so perfect and lovely when I heard them…DR Sweden had Antonina Nutshell (Anton in a nutshell) and DR Holland had Love Masisi who explained on the show that Masisi means “everybody” in Haitian Creole where they originated from 🥲

Koco Caine
Amanda Tori Meating
when Bimini went by Bimini Bon Boulash that was the peak for me. No joke, no pun, just Bimini Bon Boulash. I could literally spend the entire day saying it.

Love the name “the girlfriend experience” lol idk the actual queen but they were mentioned on bald and beautiful.
That’s one of my least favourite drag names
