Queen of the Nile OR The Great Pyramid?

[EricLA]

In another thread there was some discussion on some fun nicknames for our own Cleopatra (Jana). I thought it might be fun to see what moniker BY'ers preferred for her?

Side note - in the other thread someone had mentioned "Queen of Denial", but until she starts averaging more blocks per game and is actually in the national top 10 in that category, I'm not sure she's quite ready for that!

Side note Jana has 17 blocks on the season. Sarah has 41!!

Was in Egypt last month so all things Jana are great for me. I prefer Queen myself.

Two historic notes sparked by Eric’s Cleopatra comment.

1) There were a few women Pharaohs, some of them quite powerful rulers.

2) Egyptian history, perhaps befitting both its length as well as the country’s geography, is quite complex, and those who ruled it in both ancient and modern times were often not native Egyptians. Cleopatra wasn’t Egyptian - she was Greek with a bit of Persian ancestry in her bloodline. (I have no idea what Jana’s ancestry is - maybe she’s another Cleopatra in the wings!)

The Pharaohness?

The Nile Annhilator?

The Cairo Kid?

Agree with EricLA re "Queen of Denial", but if she becomes more aggressive without fouling, she could become Pharoahious?
IMO she has a lot of potential of which we're seeing more every game. Excited to watch her develop.

Nothing matches queen of denial. She just needs to earn that moniker.

Thank goodness that nicknames come from teammates, not BYers.
