| HASH NAME | Short Name |
Reason For Name |
|---|---|---|
| 4pac | I wore a Kangaroo outfit to the Easter hash (it should have been an Easter Bunny outfit, but Amazon let me down!) After the Hash, MotorX suggested that I use the pouch for sandwiches. I commented that it would be better suited for a 4 pack of beer.. and my name 4pac was born! | |
| Agatha | His surname is Christie… A mystery indeed. | |
| Angaze | When registering for an African Hash Run, I was asked what my Hash name was. I answered, " I don't know" whereupon Angaze was registered, as it is Zulu for,' I don't know '. | |
| Aqua | Not known. | |
| AWOL | A while ago he was skiing with some Hash friends and met a 'sweet' lady at the bar early in the week. Apparently, his ski group didn't see him for the rest of their time there. He'd gone… AWOL. | |
| Plod | She offered her slightly small shoes to Dunny, runs fast and she is associated with the police. Thus, Plod, is an ideal name. | |
| Big and Bouncy | She's a slight and delicate lady. | |
| Big Girl's Blouse | BGB | He can't remember the reason for his name but no doubt you have your thoughts… |
| BillyBullshit | Essentially, he's full of it. Just ask him any question. | |

| BlowHarder | Not known. | |
| Blowjob | Hairdressing work had quite a lot to do with this naming. | |
| Bomber | His surname is Lancaster. | |

| Caboose | For being a railwayman and very keen on all things to do with railways. | |

| Donut | At the ‘On Out’ on a very rainy hash, I (with Dutch) decided to go to the local Waitrose for coffee instead, returning after the run with doughnuts for the soggy Hashers - hence the name. | |
| DoorMatt | I think it has something to do with me regularly having to do my wife's shoe laces up for her, usually when caked in shiggy or worse. | |
| Dorothy | Because I turned up to my 4th Hash in my brand new bright red running shoes! | |
| Dr. Pooh | I was going to have another name. For the naming ceremony, I came prepared with an old tee shirt on underneath. It had a picture of Pooh bear in Dr Who's tardis, entitled Dr Pooh. On taking off my top exposing this, before being floured, the ceremony was emergency stopped as Dr Pooh would be a better Hash name. | |
| Dumb | See Dumber's naming information. | |
| Dumber | Approx 35 years ago we started Hashing and Bashing, cycling to and round them on our tandem. Twin names for us were favoured and when Dumb and Dumber was released we were named. We spent years arguing between us about who was Dumber. It was finally settled on a bike ride near Rye. We cycled along Dumb Woman's Lane. So that made me the Dumb Woman and as always suspected, Ian is Dumber. | |

| Jacqui | No Hash name yet. | |
| James | No Hash name yet. | |

| Nearly Twice | I was at a moonlight at Shandymans, and FannyBag said to me, 'You've laid a Hash nearly twice'. C5 said 'That would make a great Hash name'... So here I am: 'Nearly Twice'. | |
| No Style | I manage to dislodge a removable plank that allowed passage for dogs, from a stile while climbing over it. I'd been a member without a name for a couple of years and RA Shitfor was desperate to name me! | |
| NonStick | Advised to take a stick to beat down nettles, NonStick duly did so. After 3 miles and no nettles he threw it away. 200 Yards on and he was in the thick of a patch of them. He was named NonStick because he didn't have one when he needed it. | |

| Pretty in Pink | Not known. | |
| Pyro | Not known. | |
| Rampant Rabbit | Rampant | During a Hash at a regroup we were chatting . I foolishly said I would be ‘up for anything’. Someone alleged that I was rampant and this then got enhanced to Rampant Rabbit (which apparently is something else). |
| Randy Mandy | Cause it rhymes. | |
| Rob Roy | Not known. | |
| Shifty | I was working shifts and swapped my late shift so I could make the next Hash. | |
| Shitfor | He and Desperate were marshalling at the Shinfield 10k. He said he would kiss all Hashers who passed him during the race and duly did. The Hash consensus later was that he'd have to have sh*t for brains to want to do it. | |
| Skinny Dipper | Skinny or Dipper | I was given my name on Lonely’s 60th birthday Hash from his house by the river. It was very hot and I mentioned how lovely it would be to go skinnydipping in the Thames. I did eventually live up to my name on a Hooray Henley Hash. |
| SlackBladder | My Hash name Slackbladder originated from my FOTMHHH ( Friends of the Mole) name Blackadder. While competing in the Para 10 mile challenge, I had to visit the bushes for a leak. This was witnessed by a number of fellow FOTM HHH runners and the name has stuck for over 30 years! | |

It was conducted by Glittertits, and as I was about to be anointed as No Balls, a reference to my golfing prowess, I leant forward ready for the deluge of flour and beer and someone who shall remain nameless (Simple) shouted, "Call him Snowballs!". An uncalled for reference to my silver hair. |
| SonicTheHedgehog | Sonic | This was YogaJulie, who was named officially for telling people she had a number of hedgehogs in her garden. |
| SpecialBranch | SpecialBranch | While running, he let a thin tree branch whip back at the following Slapper. Additionally, he's often seen with Plod. |
| Spex | Running over near Newbury (many years ago), a group of runners from Newbury Athletic/Running club joined us. I remarked that it was nice to see all these 'athletic young men on the hash'. I became Spex on the basis that if I thought they were young I should be wearing glasses! | |
| Spot | 1989 and Spot was a member of The Allergy Society. BH3 raised £742 for it via a Reading pub run, dressed as mothers and babies. Spot was a marshal at one of the pubs.

| Twanky | I crew backstage at Amateur Dramatic societies, so naturally whoever named me thought it was only fitting to give me a Panto "name". | |
| Utopia | Not known. | |
| Valhalla | Valhalla is apparently where the bravest of the slain Norse warriors enter after death, as a reward for their labours. I believe when 69er christened me it was because, on the first trail I laid, I managed to make it far too long. | |
