My favorite part of that website is the pronounciation key that goes along with all of the proposed names.

I offered a suggestion:

The flying phallus replacement

Maybe they will take my idea.

No, we'll keep both. Its even stupider than Freida Falcon because Rocky really had no gender- its a Rocket. Several women have been Rocky over the years. Slow summer, I guess.

Given his phallic nature, I'm questioning whether you've really actually ever seen Rocky?

Frieda was very cutting edge at the time. First appearing in 1966 and then becoming an official mascot in 1980. She is actually Freddie's little sister.

She's actually a student in a very hot, smelly suit.

Rockets are kinda that way no matter what. Can't really account for the blue inflatable, though. NOTHING looks like that.

I just noticed the new mascot will only have three fingers and a thumb on each hand. Very Simpsons like.

I love how the yellow stripe in the middle of the helmet somehow morphs into a pony tail.

But the females who don the costume also tend to be hot, so well, there you have it.

I don't know, 87. I don't think in my years of witnessing beheadings I ever thought to myself "Damn! I need to get Frieda's number!!!"

I've seen a couple- thank you. I can't say that so I'm glad you did.
