Daryl Gurney is bidding farewell to his long-standing nickname 'Superchin' — and he's letting the fans decide what comes next. The Northern Irishman announced the change in a striking TikTok video, declaring: "'Superchin' is getting scrapped." The clip goes on to explain: "Daryl Gurney needs a new nickname… and we're letting you decide."
Fans are being urged to drop their best suggestions in the comments section under the video, with each entry also putting them in the running for a host of prizes. "Drop your best new nickname for Daryl below to take part," reads the call to action. The campaign is being run in partnership with Mad House, with a total of 22 prizes up for grabs.
Among the prizes on offer are a set of Daryl Gurney Superchin darts, a signed Superchin shirt from Gurney himself, ten two-hour Mad House darts sessions, and ten Mad House dart cases. The giveaway adds extra incentive for fans to get creative as they bid to shape the next chapter of Gurney's identity on the oche.
The move signals the end of one of the sport's more familiar monikers. Gurney has long been introduced to crowds as 'Superchin', but now the hunt is officially open for a replacement. What that new handle will be remains unclear — the choice is being left entirely to the imagination of the darting public. The central question posed to fans is simple: "What should Daryl Gurney be called from now on?"
