Different fandoms have clever names they attribute to themselves Here's a few examples:

Star Trek-Trekkies

Doctor Who-Whovians

My Little Pony-Bronies

TMNT-Shellheads

Firefly-Browncoats

ICP-Inbred, felonious, mouth-breathers

Any ideas on what to refer to ourselves as Godzilla fans?

Honestly, I've been calling us, and Gamera fans, G-fans colloquially. It just has a simple but clear flow to it.

I think G-Fan is the accepted term, but after Pacific Rim I wouldn't mind being referred to as a "Kaiju Groupie." ;)

G-fan seems to already be our name.

Kaiju Groupie could be used for fans of kaiju tokusatsu films.

Deviation is not shameful. Conforming is.

@AwsomeJaijuFan Dude, take a chill pill. If that doesn't work, take one of those chill strips that you put on your tongue. Chill.

As some have already said... We're "G-Fans". We've always been "G-Fans". We have a magazine named after us called, "G-Fan". We will always be "G-Fans" and a single thread that will fade into obscurity on an online forum isn't going to change us from being called "G-Fans".
