I found this online and I thought it was pretty cool. I already knew a small handful of the names for these various pocket hands, but this is a complete list. Now I just have to hope I can remember some of the more obscure ones so I can sound all impressive at my next poker game.
A-A – Pocket Rockets
A-K – Big Slick
A-J — Ajax
K-K – Cowboys
K-Q – Marriage
K-J – Kojak
K-9 - Canine
Q-Q –Siegfried & Roy
Q-J – Maverick
Q-7 - Computer Hand
Q-3 – A San Francisco Busboy
J-J – Hooks
J-9 – T.J. Cloutier.
J-5 – Jackson Five
10-5 – Five and dime
10-2 – Doyle Brunson. (He won two World Series of Poker titles with this hand.)
9-5 – Dolly Parton
9-9 – Meat hooks

"Siegfried & Roy", or QQ is a hand that I seem to lose on a majority of the time I play it.
