Becca Cooper-Hofstadter Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 This has been puzzling me for a while, ever since I became involved with this fandom, I always wondered, does it have a name? what to we call ourselves as a group or individual fans? I always Imagined us being called "Bazinga Geeks" or "Bazinga Nerds" or "Sheldon Cooper's C-men" what kind of name are we known as? It would be fun Wouldn't it!

Martin Pollard Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Honestly, I think "TBBT fans" works just fine. Do we really need to have some cutesie nickname like "Trekkies" or "Whovians"? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, "X-Philes" was pretty clever back in the day... ETA: "Big Bangers"? Edited January 27, 2014 by phantagrae 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say YES we do need a "cutesy" nick name. I myself get tired of saying "I belong to a forum that involves TBBT and I enjoy being in the games section, Etc. I think not only should we have a name overall for this forum (I like Big Bangers), but also names for the members favorite threads (for example: Big Bang Chit-Chatter).

koops Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I think Theorists would be pretty cool. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbangsheldon Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) I hate Big Bangers I've seen it been used before and it sounds so silly!! I don't think we need a nick name though!

gsxdoug Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Was going to say Bangers, but then Koops mentioned Theorists. That's perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razberrypie Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I'm not walking up to someone I'm interested in and calling myself a "Big Banger". I don't think things will work as I intend them to. I think Theorists is pretty good . If something is found that most people can agree on then consider me on board! I hope it catches on too. Though I'm happy with the generic term, I admit that a cool name would be kinda cute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensor Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 How about, Company Of Bang Enthusiasts: COBEs or possibly, Worship Molaro And Prady: WMAP Don't forget, The Theorists was the name of the program that was a basically word for word heist of the show by a production company run by the Belarus Government.

phantagrae Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I was really just being a smart ass with the double entendre of "Big Bangers"-- sort of how we have a pedestrian bridge here that was built over a dam. It has some convoluted official name, but it's always called The Big Dam Bridge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disgusted Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) You can't give yourself a nickname, the other "astronauts" have to pick it for you. Based on that, our nickname is the "Other Forum" Edited January 30, 2014 by Disgusted 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it proves that you can't force something on a fandom; it has to come on its own. Star Trek fans didn't start a contest or anything to figure out what to call themselves, they just started calling themselves "Trekkies" and it caught on. Same with Whovians and X-Philes. Either it happens organically or it doesn't happen at all, generally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT212 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I have an idea for some Big Bang Theory fandom nicknames: How about "Big Bang Theorists"? Or maybe "Big Bang Army"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
