I don't think Lauren Brooke's that bad though, because she's only a backstage interviewer so it needs to be realistic. How often would you see a backstage interviewer called 'Chyna' or similar? It needs to be realistic, and that's why I think they went for Courtney Taylor. The realism. Simply Luscious… wow.

Amy made it unique... so unique, in fact, that I think she should legally make it her real name. Lita always seemed like a real name to me.

I mean, they wrestle in lingerie for Christ's sake. But I don't get the sentiment of deliberately trying to sound like they're porn stars. And I get that it's not always the company that names the girl. That's not the entire point. The point is that sometimes names are awful and don't fit the girl.

Enough with the porn names though I actually think Courtney Taylor isnt that bad, compared to her last name its v.good.

Enough with the porn names though

Isn't that the whole point? It's their gimmick almost. And as for ODB, TNA didn't name her that. That was her stage name long before she ever signed with the company. Even back in OVW she went by ODB. “Though, I must say, the names that take the porn-flavored cake are none other than the Beautiful People themselves: Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, and Madison Rayne.”

But she was also named "Tina Ferrari" at one point which is sort of like an adult film stars name. That was my least favourite in womens wrestling ever.

I think one word names are really cool for a character, they're all encompassing. The only 'factory made' names that I got behind immediately were Alicia Fox and Taylor Wilde, I like both of those names and think they work well.

Names like Awesome Kong, Beth Phoenix, Alicia Fox, Maryse... I honestly think that some names are quite offensive in some way and kind of too gimmicky, names like Rosa Mendes [latina girl that acts like a b!tch all the time], Tiffany [random blonde girl with annoying voice] and Courtney Taylor [blonde ex-Hooters girl and cheerleader], I think this names are a little to much gimmicky, what next?? Naming a black girl LeTrishia or naming a redhaired woman Nicola Greenlands??? Please, it's just racial and random, why not Roucka, or Taryn, or Beverly Mullins? I'm just hoping that Angela Fong doesn't appear on the main roster named Chian Chuang! Awesome, this is really good Erin! :D

I think it denotes all things power and fierce! "Simply Luscious" is vile, though. Good read :)
