By wrestling name, I mean a name that sounds like a given name. Here's how you do it.
Take your middle name. This will be your first name.
Take your first name. Pluralize it. This will be your new last name.
I came to notice this when I went on wikipedia and realized that a lot of fake names are inversions of the wrestler's real name. For example: "Christopher Daniels" is really Daniel Christopher Covell (though you can't trust any website that claims Christopher Daniels is Curry Man. Lies and slander, I say), and "Shawn Michaels" is Michael Shawn Hickenbottom.
You can abbreviate either of your names in any way that will make them sound good. For example:
My first name is Nicholas. My middle name is Alexander. I shorten them both and apply the "Create A Wrestling Name" method, and I end up with Al Nicks, renegade nephew of Stevie Nicks, 22 years-old but forever at the edge of seventeen. Fear the sinister nature of my heeldom!
So, um...yeah, give it a try. What's your name (and gimmick, if you're feeling creative)?

Middle name: Steven First: David? Steve Dav? Steven David? Steven Davidoff? Steven Poppins and the Chimney Sweeps? "Steve-Dave" You can tell 'em after you've defeated them Anyway Middle Name: Albert First name: Edmund (changed to "Edmond" for the purposes of using it as a last name) Albert Edmonds: Self-proclaimed Canadian Oil Magnate (though actually a very good con artist) that hails from Edmonton, Alberta, and claims he owns the entire City. Sort of a Million-Dollar-Man-esque gimmick only it's Canadian money so he has a tag team of enforcers known as "The Loonie Bin"

One of my CAWs on WWF No Mercy is Randee "The Perv" Knickers. Kinda like Adrian Adonis crossed with SC Steve Austin. How about that?

Sorry to be Dr killjoy but be careful about answering these types of questions, they're often used for security questions for forgotten passwords so are useful for various shady activities.
I'm sure that everybody here is an all round good egg though.

Yes, to clarify, you don't have to actually say what your first and middle name is. I just gave mine as an example. Just put what your wrestling name would be. I'm sure if there were any bad eggs around here, you could just alter the spelling or shorten it like I did (Alexander to Al, which could have been Albert, Alvin, etc., so no one would ever know). But yeah, WC is filled with upstanding citizens, so I wouldn't worry. Middle name: Steven First: David? Steve Dav? Steven David? Steven Davidoff? Steven Poppins and the Chimney Sweeps? Just drop the "D" from the end of your name and add an "S" and you become Steven Davis, which I would still count. It's a damn fine name.

Middle name: Steven First: David? Steve Dav? Steven David? Steven Davidoff? Steven Poppins and the Chimney Sweeps? Stevie Davidson Also mine would be Eddie Franklin. Which I think sounds dumb so I'll take Frank Edwards.

My real name is cool enough as a wrestling name. And no, I'm not going to type it.

Middle Name: Dean First Name: Anthony
I kinda like the sound of Dean Anthony.
I don't really know on a gimmick, but some sort of pompous heel feels about right. I have a hard time seeing me pull of a face character with the name Dean.

Joseph Christopher hm...If I drop the "opher" I would be Joseph Christ...hm... I'm taking a shot here.... are you going to be rolling for him in the WWE d20 game? As for me, my name just doesn't work for this. Lee Joshua sounds horribly off, and Lee Josh sounds even worse. Lemme keep "Captain Gigglepants" James Sarven, thankyouverymuch.
