Weird Al Fandom Name: Suggestions Needed!

[yankochick38]

I've been on this forum for how long and I still don't know where I should post things. I figured I'd be safe in General Chat.

ANYWAY

It has come to my attention that we need a fandom name. I was talking with my friend about Al and she was like "what do you call yourselves" and I thought and I thought and I didn't have an answer for her. Maybe we already have a name and I just don't remember it, but maybe we need to change it anyway if that's the case.

And I mean there's like Directioners and Whovians and Potterheads so why not WeirdAlerianheads?
Probably not that, though.

Anyway we need a fandom name. We're in the tumblr generation people, it needs to be good and hashtaggable, something you'd make an inspirational picture from. Yankovicers? I don't even

So yeah.

Al-oholics?

[Kevbo1987]

Weirdos?

Let me try a few:
- Slime Creatures
- Radioactive Hamsters (From a Planet Near Mars) #RadioactiveHamstersFAPNM (This is the best hashtag ever, btw)
- Polkaholics
- Deep-Enders
- Alapaloozers

Still, these are the ideas I'm coming up with after staying up around 3-4 in the morning, so they could all be pretty terrible.

Al-oholics?

If we're not already called this, we should be. I remember before finding this forum, I got most of my Al news from Al-oholicsAnonymous.com, and always figured that Al-oholic was a great name for an Al fan.

We are also commonly referred to as nerds

When asked during touring, I have always gone with 'Al-oholics'.

There was a place called the Burger Dive in Billings, MT where Mom and I have a signed menu on their wall. We titled it the "Weird Al Al-oholics". The lady that owned the place was amazed at our tourchasing, so she had us put the menu up on the wall, with the number of shows we'd gone too.

Pretty cool to be on the wall with people from Shrek The Musical and Blue Man Group.

I think Yankochicks would be better than Al-Gals.
And then what about Yanksters as a catch-all?

[Killingsworth]

Wow, I'm liking most of these suggestions better than I thought I would (especially "Yanksters" and OneWAYs' last three suggestions)

I used to just think that coming up with a "fandom name" for us seemed too cheesy and that "Al Fans" was enough, but I saw how much fun you guys were having with these. I like them so much that I'd like to offer a few of my own.

-Al's Army (since this phrase was used in "The Compleat Al" and all)
-Al Pals (since we already have "Al Gals" I figured this would make a good male equivalent because how come only the females get a fandom name anyway?)
-Alanators (since most "fandom names" these days seem to end in "-anators" anyway and I just thought "yeah, this works" as Al did when he was a KCPR DJ at Cal Poly)
-Friends of Al (since "Close Personal Friends of Al" may be too long)
-Yankmeisters/Yankaholics (since any play on "Yankovic" just sounds so fun to say)
-Alpocaloozers (since it's the only play off an album title I could think of)

Yankoholics has a nice ring to it.
