Triple H gave his own kids WWE developmental quality names so I'm not sure what people expect. Seriously, Murphy Claire, Vaughn Evelyn and Aurora Rose could be the names of an NXT tag team and their valet.

Triple H himself might have the most developmental developmental name ever, Hunter Hearst Helmsley aka Triple H? Come on. That's horrible.

Because really, MOST wrestling names are shit. In isolation, Ricky Steamboat is a TERRIBLE name. Like, who names themselves after a boat, and not even work a nautical gimmick to boot? Hulk Hogan, what is he, some idiot painted all in green? I still say he should have gone by his real name: Richard Blood. Ricky Steamboat? Indeed salty like a sea captain. Richard Blood? He's here to mess you up. IIRC, the reason he didn't use his real last name is because it was too heel-ish sounding. And Ricky Steamboat rarely, if ever, worked heel.

"Crap names" are suggestive. It's a matter of taste.

This reminds me of when my Aunt told me when I was in high school that bands had stupid names now. I had a Brand New shirt on. She likes The Doors. Point being both sounds very uninspired.
I guess I'm saying a bad name sucks no matter when it happens. "Stone Cold" sounds like a dumb nickname if you just look at it from an outside perspective.

Steve Austin? They took his first name and a city in the state he was from. Where's Billy Baltimore or Craig Punxsutawney? And Ric Flair? Why not Joe Panache?

I see your points. I agree that a lot of famous wrestlers names may sound silly at first sight.
I guess my main gripe is people with names like the aforementioned 'Lift Sawyer' or active guys like Mojo Rawley. Why do *these* names get greenlit?
With names like Hulk and Rock...those sound like a pro wrestlers name, at least, despite their ridiculous nature.
Why do they insist on choosing awkward to pronounce names like Oney Lorcan or Braun Strowman, etc? That's my main issue I guess...the FCW name generator type names.
But I suppose as has been said, it's subjective.

The wrestlers themselves have a hand in it a lot of times. Enzo Amore originally requested to be Esteban Apples.

Enzo Amore originally requested to be Esteban Apples. Wait, what? Per Rob Naylor who at the time was working in developmental. Said he wanted to keep the initials EA and Esteban Apples was Enzo's favorite

I still think Becky Lynch should of been called Becky Lunch I'd have called her Breaky Lunch. Her gimmick would stress the importance of starting your day off right with two square meals.

I wouldn't be surprised if the writers actually did come up with good names, only for Vince to say "those sound too much like RASSLIN' names!" and veto them.
