Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 We have some lady shooters that can't stand the name Grand Dame for 70+ ladies. I know of one lady who refuses to move up from Lady Silver Senior. I posted this on the TG Wire and got this reply from PaleWolf so it looks like this was discussed back in 2017. A name change was suggested back in 2017. As far as I know, no further action was taken. Quote Quote 😎 The ladies equivalent to the Grand Patron (El Patron) category has been officially renamed by SASS to La Patrona, effective immediately (as of Winter Range 2017). ... 13) SASS will consider changing the Grand Dame category to something else, if they get suggestions and the majority agrees. WR TG MEETING - 2017 Do any other Ladies have complaints about the name? If so any suggestions on a better name? I tried this once before and I read all the comments I got but very few were constructive and it got to the point that no Lady would want to reply and I had the thread closed. I'd like to get some ideas before the TG Meeting at Land Run and I'd like to only get replies from Ladies since this really only concerns them. If this request cannot be honored and it gets out of hand like it did last time I'll ask the moderators to close this thread and ask any Ladies to PM me with their ideas. Thanks Randy 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dream Chaser, SASS #79316 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Grand Dame is my current category and the name does not bother me at all. In fact I kinda like it. Different strokes for different folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Answering for Ellie... She thinks Grand Dame is just fine. She said it's just a category, get over it as no one is running around calling you by your category name! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizPete Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I'm guessing too many pronouncing it dAme instead of dahm. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawdog Dago Dom Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Shortcake looks forward to the Grand Dame title with great eagerness. She speaks pretty good French and says the literal translation is "Great Lady" and has no problem with that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
