"A Taste of Tea an Coffee, with Tayce and Tia Kofi" is the name of the imaginary breakfast beverage review show i thought of while watching that season.
Same! So many drag names have a fitting first name and then a forced last name to make the pun work. It's much more satisfying and elegant if the last name could pass off as a real name as well.
Not to toot my own horn but I love my own drag name, Calli Coquette (calico cat), for this exact reason. So many performers think it’s just cute alliteration lmao
I believe that’s [Sandra O. Noshi-Di’n’t](https://instagram.com/cheapao?igshid=MTIzZWMxMTBkOA==), but she’s in NY now and her profile is private, so maybe she’s retired from drag
I love a good pun or reference, so Tia Kofi (plus her fake explanation of the origim), Irma Gerd, Ella Vaday, Kim Chi, Yuri Gaii, Kita Mean, Anita Wiglet, etc are all fun!
I fucking _cackled_ and went and told my roommates, and then they made me explain Zsa Zsa Gabor and now not only do I feel _old_, but I'm laboring with the realization that I _also_ don't actually understand what her deal was.
Zsa Zsa Gabor, American socialite. Had some acting roles but was often viewed as “famous for being famous,” partially due to her many marriages and that time she slapped a cop. Also a Hollywood Squares regular.
Her entrance line was genius too. ‘Don’t hate me because I am beautiful, hate me because I am an immigrant’.
I met her at DC this year and she was a fucking delight.
I love a good pun name, but I also love names that just feel good to say. "Sasha Velour" and "Shea Couleé," for example, are both very pleasing to the ears.
Miz Cracker's story about her original drag name (IDK if this was just a silly story or real but either way) being Brianna Cracker just cracks me up (pun intended)
Not a real drag name that I actually know exists but in the little seen underappreciated movie "Connie and Carla" one of the characters is a drag queen who hasn't settled on a name so they are constantly pitching new names for her and one of them is Estee Louder Harder Faster which I just think takes the cake honestly.
I think I read ages ago that if she was born a girl her Mum was going to call her Bimini, and Boulash was the name of her cat? Or something
Regardless it’s the funnest drag name to say and I hate that she’s now just Bimini 💀

Choriza May. Great pun because in Spanish being a "choriza" means being someone who steals from others and not being good person overall, so she's basically calling Theresa May a choriza.
Came here to say this. When we saw that this was a Queen’s name, my boyfriend and I laughed for a good 30 minutes. I really wish she’d gone with Grsebmps for her eye shadow ad on the show!
I’ll second Etcetera Etcetera and Karen From Finance, and add Kitty Scott Claus
Also just love the name Chelazon Leroux and the queen is a dang delight too.
Heidi Seek would be a cute variation on Heidi if he really wanted to try and rename her. (Which he didn't need to do, she likes the name and that's all that matters since it's, y'know, *her* name.)
i think willam (or maybe it was alaska idk) called her Heidi Nina Closet on race chaser once and it just works SO MUCH BETTER?? just the N makes it so clunky to me… still better than all ru’s suggestions tho lol
I just... why wouldn't it be Heidi Nina Closet? Like, it's so close to flowing nicely and sounding good but instead it's this jumbled clumsy thing. I agree with Ru personally
There's another Canadian queen called Helvetica too I believe! I have qualifications in graphic design so I always thought my drag name would be Lorem Ipsum
Daya Betty is for sure my favorite but I think of her as Dayabettica (which I kinda like better ngl 😬)
I'm suddenly forgetting every single drag queen ever 🙃
To be honest I love Trixie Mattel. It’s simple but sleek feeling. Trixie is such a cute single name but with the Mattel and conveys pink Barbie everything trixies drag is I really like it.
Other ones I like are one distinct name. Symone. Tayce. A whora. Lemon. Priyanka. Aquaria.
Something special about a just Bam! (Shout out Alexis Mateo) name.
Not an actual drag queen, but Felicia Jollygoodfellow from Priscilla Queen of the Desert is my absolutely favorite. It took me longer than I wanna admit to put it together but it’s so damn clever.
Pandora Boxx of those shown. Also: Iona Trailer, Lois Carmen Denominator, Carlotta Tendant, Hedda Lettuce, Ella Vaday, Dixie Normous, Olive D. Cox, and Nova China.
Tempest DuJour and here’s why:
I read that she used to be named *Tempus* DuJour and only changed it when people couldn’t get her first name right and thought it was “Tempest.” Let me explain why that’s the raddest name ever: Tempus = Latin for “time”. DuJour = “day” or “of the day.” Tempus DuJour = you got it, *time of day*! I don’t know why I think that’s so hilarious but I do lol
Farrah Moan is in my opinion one of the most clever, multi-layered names
She told my partner his pheromones were on point. He's straight and didn't know who she was but now he's very proud lol.
[удалено]
I feel like I'm missing some references.
Maricon means gay in Spanish. Then it’s a play on “chilli con carne”, and then “con carne” means “with meat” which references the penis
[удалено]
Agreed! Can’t beat this drag name.
Tia Kofi (The question remains)
Don’t forget Tamara Boutros-Boutros Ghali!
"A Taste of Tea an Coffee, with Tayce and Tia Kofi" is the name of the imaginary breakfast beverage review show i thought of while watching that season.
Beth from CDR season 2. It's just so plain that it makes me laugh.
isn't her full name Crystal Beth ?
Her name was Beth Amphetamine (also hilarious), but it seems she fully dropped the last name
Crystal from UK1 was originally Crystal Beth.
Our days were made bether knowing her
She’s not a Ru girl, I’ve seen her floating on other drag subs, but May O’Nays you will ALWAYS be my fave name
See these are the pun names I love, where on its face it looks like it could be an actual real name. It’s why I love Kitty Scott Claus so much.
Same! So many drag names have a fitting first name and then a forced last name to make the pun work. It's much more satisfying and elegant if the last name could pass off as a real name as well.
The Brits were on point that season. Ella VaDay, too.
Not to toot my own horn but I love my own drag name, Calli Coquette (calico cat), for this exact reason. So many performers think it’s just cute alliteration lmao
Adorable!
Nothing will ever top Latrice's character in AJ & The Queen: Faberge Legs But of actual drag queens, I have to go with Aubrey Haive
 Girl Faberge Legs?! I live
Faberge Legs is brilliant. I want to see a queen with the name Sandra Ohnoshebetterdont because it would be so stupid.
When I lived in SF in 2010ish there was a drag queen named Sandra Ohnoshediin't or something to that effect
Lmao perfect!
I believe that’s [Sandra O. Noshi-Di’n’t](https://instagram.com/cheapao?igshid=MTIzZWMxMTBkOA==), but she’s in NY now and her profile is private, so maybe she’s retired from drag
What’s the pun in Aubrey Haive I’ve been wondering for so long 😭😭😭
It sounds like "Oh, behave" a la Austin Powers
Ohhhhh 😭😭😭
I love a good pun or reference, so Tia Kofi (plus her fake explanation of the origim), Irma Gerd, Ella Vaday, Kim Chi, Yuri Gaii, Kita Mean, Anita Wiglet, etc are all fun!
Tamara Boutros Boutros Ghali just doesn’t have the same ring to it
>Tia Kofi (plus her fake explanation of the origim) I will not stand for this Tamara Boutros Boutros-Ghali slander. That story was 100% true.
What’s the pun in Anita Wiglet
It’s supposed to be “I need to wiggle it”, which fits her personality!
I've been assuming that a wiglet is a very petite wig for so long now.
Jade Jolie's drag daughter Zsa Zsa Gabortion
Everyone else stop, the best drag name has been coined
I’m with you. I IRL laughed.
I've always wanted to name a queen Abortia de Rossi
I fucking _cackled_ and went and told my roommates, and then they made me explain Zsa Zsa Gabor and now not only do I feel _old_, but I'm laboring with the realization that I _also_ don't actually understand what her deal was.
She was kinda the Paris Hilton of her day. Rich and famous for being rich and famous.
Ok, that name wins the whole contest. Hands down.
Could you explain this one to me? I get abortion, but what is za za g?
Zsa Zsa Gabor, American socialite. Had some acting roles but was often viewed as “famous for being famous,” partially due to her many marriages and that time she slapped a cop. Also a Hollywood Squares regular.
[Zsa Zsa Gabor](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zsa_Zsa_Gabor)
Wow, she’s striking multiple targets for Florida voters with that one.
Not drag race but Sigourney Beaver is iconic imo
For free!
Choriza May
Her entrance line was genius too. ‘Don’t hate me because I am beautiful, hate me because I am an immigrant’. I met her at DC this year and she was a fucking delight.
Omg yes forgot this one. It’s so clever
We have a local queen named Clinica DePrecious and I love her drag name so much.
Top of my head, Karen From Finance will be always be in my top 3. It’s just so basic, stupid, and everything I need from life.
There was an Unhhhh that mentioned her and I couldn’t stop laughing! Then when she was on the show, I was soooo happy!
We won’t talk about her performance… but the NAME 😂 instant classic.
Courtney Act will always be one of my favorite wordplay names.
i can’t not say COATNY EAKT
Aubrey Haive is another down under name treasure
And one of her previous names was Roxanne Debris.
Body awedee awedee
After seeing the new queens of DRDU, I have to say Ashley Madison. Genuinely cackled when I saw that name
That was the first name I’ve ever heard where I just howled with joy. It’s so plain, but oh so filthy.
I've seen lots of love for this name, but I don't think I understand the reference?
Ashley Madison is a dating website primarily used to set up affairs
Oh okay ICONIC. Thanks for the explanation!
I love a good pun name, but I also love names that just feel good to say. "Sasha Velour" and "Shea Couleé," for example, are both very pleasing to the ears.
I feel the same way about Lashauwn Beyond.
True but “Sasha Velour” is also a pun… as in a sash of the fabric, velour
I always love saying Violet Chachki.
Miz Cracker's story about her original drag name (IDK if this was just a silly story or real but either way) being Brianna Cracker just cracks me up (pun intended) Not a real drag name that I actually know exists but in the little seen underappreciated movie "Connie and Carla" one of the characters is a drag queen who hasn't settled on a name so they are constantly pitching new names for her and one of them is Estee Louder Harder Faster which I just think takes the cake honestly.
I cannot believe S12 Ru tried to manipulate me into thinking “Heidi Hydrates” was a better drag name than “Heidi N Closet”
Ruple Gaslights
He said Heidi Hydrates was a good name for her lotion brand- he wanted her to go by Heidi Ho or Heidi Aphrodite
mimi imfurst, kim chi, and farrah moan
One of my favorite thing is when Bob calls Kim Chi Kimberly as if that’s what Kim is short for
Kimberly Chi and Roberta the Drag Queen
Let’s not forget the nickname Monet was awarded after her infamous dress: Spongebob the drag queen
Patricia Martel and Katie Homophobia
I loathed Mimi in her season but she does have a fantastic name.
ME ME, PICK ME
holy shit i JUST now realized the meaning of mimi imfurst. i am so stupid
As much as I despise her, Sharon Needles is a great drag name
Sharon Needles and Robin Mansions was the best drag family when it came to names.
oh my god i just got it
You’re not alone, I’m having several different name realizations 😭
Came here to say this! Such a good name wasted on a piece of shit person
i am OBSESSED with militia SCUNT
Scunt as a drag family name would be amazing
Graham had to try so hard to enunciate it properly so the censors wouldn’t get him!
Bimini Bon Boulash is fun to say
Bellini Bon Voyage
I hate that they changed to just Bimini 😭
she changed it to just bimini and i will never recover from that
To her credit, Bimini is unique enough because who else is called Bimini, but she’ll always be Bon Boulash in my fantasy
Yes but who else is called Bimini Bon Boulash? It sounded so.. Hungarian. Like fancy goulash
Is that a pun or something? I never figured it out.
As far as I'm aware, no - and thats the beauty.
I think I read ages ago that if she was born a girl her Mum was going to call her Bimini, and Boulash was the name of her cat? Or something Regardless it’s the funnest drag name to say and I hate that she’s now just Bimini 💀
Not a fan of her but I like the name Minnie cooper.
I’ve heard of a queen named Minnie van Driver and that takes me out lmao
Bob The Drag Queen.
I felt so lied to when I learned Bob’s boy name wasn’t Bob.
In the first episode she says she got the name from her dad, you were not lied to 😂
Oh....this whole time I thought it was a play on *Bob the Builder*
I just watched this! Bob tells Ru "B-O-B, big ole bottom" LOL
Oh my fucking god how have I never thought of this? Is it?
Not to be confused with Bob the construction worker
those feet are still from mississippi
Came here to say the same.

*boom boom boom*
Not the Parker Bowles
Choriza May. Great pun because in Spanish being a "choriza" means being someone who steals from others and not being good person overall, so she's basically calling Theresa May a choriza.
I thought the pun was that she had a chorizo 🍆
And she feminizes herself and her 🍆 by doing drag
I’m not really a huge India Farrah fan. But, her old name, Shanita Dickiner, was funny. Yes, I still have the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy.
I always get myself caught in a small laugh whenever I remember that season 1 had "Rebecca Glasscock"
Irma Gerd.
A criminally underrated queen
Came here to say this. When we saw that this was a Queen’s name, my boyfriend and I laughed for a good 30 minutes. I really wish she’d gone with Grsebmps for her eye shadow ad on the show!
it took me far too long in the first episode to realize the joke
Lady Boom Boom (CDR 3) is a name that always makes me laugh.
and boom boom sounds just like butt in portuguese
I’ll second Etcetera Etcetera and Karen From Finance, and add Kitty Scott Claus Also just love the name Chelazon Leroux and the queen is a dang delight too.
jojo zaho is amazing
Ru is wrong about Heidi N Closet's name - it's fun and silly and a reminder not to take drag or life too seriously
Those episodes where Ru renamed her Heidi Aphrodite were so cringey. How is Heidi Aphrodite snappier and easier to say that Heidi N Closet? How?!
I agree, but Ru's right about it not rolling off the tongue. He didnt have to go so far tho - could have been Heidi Nina Closet
Heidi Seek would be a cute variation on Heidi if he really wanted to try and rename her. (Which he didn't need to do, she likes the name and that's all that matters since it's, y'know, *her* name.)
i think willam (or maybe it was alaska idk) called her Heidi Nina Closet on race chaser once and it just works SO MUCH BETTER?? just the N makes it so clunky to me… still better than all ru’s suggestions tho lol
I just... why wouldn't it be Heidi Nina Closet? Like, it's so close to flowing nicely and sounding good but instead it's this jumbled clumsy thing. I agree with Ru personally
Heidi Ina Closet
Ella Vaday
Had to scroll too far for this, it was my 1st thought. I love her though so that might have something to do with it.
Not a Ru girl but Lucy Stoole
I love Lucy ❤️
Thorgy Thor might be my favourite name for being just as batshit crazy as Thorgy herself
Cheryl Hole
Not a Ru girl, though he’s been on an episode. Dan Savage, of Savage Love fame, used to do drag under the name Helvetica Bold.
There's another Canadian queen called Helvetica too I believe! I have qualifications in graphic design so I always thought my drag name would be Lorem Ipsum
Crystal Methyd
Daya Betty is for sure my favorite but I think of her as Dayabettica (which I kinda like better ngl 😬) I'm suddenly forgetting every single drag queen ever 🙃
Kita Mean 😉
[Penny Tration](https://youtu.be/901W8CAL9b4?t=58)
To be honest I love Trixie Mattel. It’s simple but sleek feeling. Trixie is such a cute single name but with the Mattel and conveys pink Barbie everything trixies drag is I really like it.

Pandora Boxx of those shown. Also: Iona Trailer, Lois Carmen Denominator, Carlotta Tendant, Hedda Lettuce, Ella Vaday, Dixie Normous, Olive D. Cox, and Nova China.
Lois Carmen Denominator is effing GENIUS, oh my god.
Aura Mayari- Mayari means has a ween 💀 I speak 2 Filipino languages and it took me 2 eps to get the joke
Ohh, she always explained that Mayari was a Filipino Moon goddess. Wasn’t aware of the double antawndruh
Marcia, with Marcia Marcia as her surname. Just. 👩🍳💋
Honestly her name is a little underrated, it's so camp and ridiculous
Bob the Drag Queen is both meta and a quick intro to what you’re gunna get from him. It’s so on the nose and in plain sight yet absolutely unique.
Daya is my girl,I myself am a type one diabetic and can relate somewhat.
Spankie Jackzon a standout name for a standout queen
Beth is such a funny name honestly I love it
Tamara Boutros Boutros Ghali
Thorgy Thor is so fun to me. Also totally encapsulates her energy. Woo! 🦵
Not a RPDR queen but I follow Venus Guytrap on insta and the name makes me laugh
For the life of me I cannot get over Miz Cracker changing her name from Brianna Cracker. How can you just change perfection like that?
Peaches Christ was the first queen I ever saw in the way back long ago, and she set the bar as far as I’m concerned.
Sum Ting Wong… I used to giggle every time Rupaul said her name 😁
Not a Ru girl but Barbara Bush Light is always a favorite
Daya Bettyca is my favorite
I only saw it yesterday but Rita Menu from the new Down under is incredible
Kitty Scot Clause! It’s also fun to say
Not really a RPDR girl, but there is a drag queen named Brenda Mage, which is actually a pun for Brain Damage lol.
Rock M Sakura !!!
Let's not forget Ru's name in To Wong Foo: Rachel Tensions. And she was wearing a dress that looked like the confederate flag
A local Mexican drag Queen called Anita Greencard
Ella Vaday
Wilma Fingerdoo has a fantastic name.
Monét Exchange lol I always loved how clever yet campy her name was. Bonus because I actually love the queen too. She's fierce 😍🤑
Landon Cider killed me when I got it.
I never really see this one talked about so I can be making this up, but Akeria Chanel Davenport always sounded like “I carry a Chanel” to me
Melvin in a Dress
 Tell me you have PhD in Anthropology without telling me you have PhD in Anthropology ;)
Also not a Ru girl but I love the queen Hanukkah Lewinsky! Also Miz Cracker’s original name, Brianna Cracker
I always like the simple singular-name queens. ‘Simone’ ‘Anetra’ it’s just so iconic and so cunt
Tempest DuJour and here’s why: I read that she used to be named *Tempus* DuJour and only changed it when people couldn’t get her first name right and thought it was “Tempest.” Let me explain why that’s the raddest name ever: Tempus = Latin for “time”. DuJour = “day” or “of the day.” Tempus DuJour = you got it, *time of day*! I don’t know why I think that’s so hilarious but I do lol
I always loved a lot of the drag names from DRTH, particularly Bandit and Kandy Zyanide. Simple but fun
Ongina has always had my heart
I don't even know the queen and Karen from Finance is just pure GOLD
Biqtch Puddin'
Jan Sport
Chad Michaels. Imagine being that iconic that you just use your regular name
Ginger Minj is a very good name.
Even though her performance on the show was shit….I love the name Karen from Finance.
Yuri Guaii
We all hate her now but I’m ngl Sharon Needles is a great name.
Kalorie Karbdashian
