“Your Two Cents” is our interactive feature where we gauge the opinions of our Twitter and Facebook followers on different discussions in women’s wrestling.
This week, we’re asking this: Davina Rose‘s new WWE moniker has us wondering: what do you think have been the best and worst names given to women in wrestling? We’ve read your responses on our social media pages and picked some of the best submissions to highlight here on the website. As always, you can join the debate by leaving your comments!
 |
Ashley Matthew | Worst: Kelly Kelly. Seriously? You don’t need to have the name in there twice. Besides, her real name fit her better. As for the best: Alundra Blayze. That stood out. |
|
Christopher Courtney | I would have to say Madusa is the worst name. She’s a great wrestler and all, but a lot of times I ask another wrestling fan do they remember Madusa they think im referring to Medusa as in the Medusa with snakes for hair. |
|
Josue Guzman | MsChif is definitely one the best names out there. One of the worst is Sexy Star, the name just screams something else than women’s wresting. |
|
Luc Tempest | Kaitlyn is right up there on the boring scale. Diva’s Champ Celeste might not sound as “girl-next-door”, but I’d rather have someone from down the street and two blocks away. |
|
Mary-Helen Clark | Best: Lita, Beth Phoenix (I refuse to count the epic ness of Trish Stratus as she used that name before wrestling). They were iconic sounding & impressive. Worst: Audrey Marie. Generic. Blah. |
|
Oliver James Mcgregor | Worst: Muffy, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley’s personal trainer… Need I say anymore? |
 |
@pikatrick | Alicia Fox has got to be my fave. It’s the sexy standout/borderline pornstar names that stood out. Aloisa and Liviana tho…yikes. |
|
Zak Burke | Worst: most of the names given to the developmental Divas in the last few years.. |
And now we turn it over to you…
What are your two cents on the debate? What are the best and worst names in women’s wrestling? Tell us in the comments…

ohhh and Alosia was bad too

In my opinion Lita was/is a great ring name for Amy. It was/is different yet sexy which suits her perfectly. I love the name Lita so much. Best Diva ring name ever I think. <3
Kelly Kelly is a terrible ring name in my opinion. I cannot take it seriously at all to be honest. When I first heard it I laughed. Sorry, but that's just my opinion. :\

I have to agree on Sexy Star name, I love her dearly, but sometime it hard to find her matches on Youtube. I always have to put Wrestling right next to it.

A name like Sexy Star should bother me, but it doesn’t for some reason.

I personally hated the name Kaitlyn for the longest. I actually hate damn near all character given first names aside from Kharma and Sable.
Any diva with a last name is (almost) always good for me: Trish Stratus, Beth Phoenix, Michelle McCool, etc. it adds a statement to who they are,
at
I hate Sasha Banks name, seriously, it looks like a name you would give to a secretary LOL
at
Kharma is the stupidest name ever. I know, lets call her Karma, but lets add in a ‘H’ so that its not even spelt right, but subtly has the word ‘harm’ inside it. So lame!
The other worst name is Paige. The most boring name on the planet.
As for the best? Luna, Sable, Miss Kitty, Peyton Banks and Major Gunns!

Naomi Knight sounded way better.

Unfortunately Naomi can’t use her real name, Trinity, because there was already a Trinity in the WWE. If you don’t remember her, just think CAUTION TAPE. lol

Kelly Kelly will always be the worst to me. First of all, it’s dumb. Second of all, her real name would have worked so much better. Her name is Barbie, she looks like Barbie, why change anything? Angelina Love and Velvet Sky are tied for a close second. Love the ladies, but come on, those names would make a stripper face-palm.
I think the best names are those that stand out from the rest in some way, or those that the women come up with themselves. Lita, Luna, Trish Stratus, and Beth Phoenix are some of my personal faves.
I also like when they get to use their real names, especially when those names are unique, like Mickie James and Melina.

Kelly Kelly just sounds like a porn star name. Sooo bad. Sunny is also a boring name.
at
Best; Kharma, Sable, Lita, Ivory, Beth Phoenix, Victoria, Melina
at
im sticking with my faves
Angelina Love & Velvet Sky <3
at
LITA!<3
It sounds nice and cool,especially when faces chant it.Sweet name.
Lita said in her book how originally,WWE wanted it to be Lolita instead of Lita,but Lita sounds way better.
at
From who I know only
Best: Sable, Trish Stratus, Lita, Chyna, Victoria (sounds incredibly dominant) Jazz, Ivory, Luna Vachon, Angelina Love, Velvet Sky (like Talia Madiskn better hehe) Taylor Wilde, Beth Phoenix (dislike her but love the name),Gail Kim, ODB, Roxxi, Natalya, Melina, Mickie James, Naomi Knight, Awesome Kong! Badass ring names! Very dominant and dangerous sounding!
Worst: Tara (it’s not a bad name just doesn’t sound as badass as Victoria haha), LayCool (love the name but it sounds goofy and half assed lol)
Lacey Von Eerie’s TNA name Toxie, Shelly Martinez as Salinas was dumb.. She could of been called SELINA like the popular Mexican singer.. Would of been catchy ;D
I like SoJo Bolt over Josie hehe
Cheerleader Melissa sounds weird but Alissa Flash or Raisha Saeed (even when played by a man) is awesome! Ivylesse killed it with Sofie Cortez well just the Cortez part lol
Didn’t like Savannah but did like Angela Fong
Girls really don’t have dumb names
Most are straight forward, and have a good feel to them!

LMAO @ the kelly part lol….
at
Worst: Let see…Lollipop (this is the worst of worst! are you kidding me!!!), Caylee Turner, Sasha Banks, Alicia Fox, Cherry, then Kelly Kelly, Angelina Love and Velvet Sky (they sound so dumb), Audrey Marie (boring) Luna Vachon or whatever (Luna is fine, but the last name…), Kaitlyn (It sounds good, but for me it’s hard to write it because I always got confused if either the “i” or the “y” goes first), Cheerleader Melissa, Bertha Faye and Awesome/Amazing Kong (unlike Aja Konj, it sounds like a videogame) ….just to name a few.
Best: I have A LOT…
For the best I can’t decide between these five: Sara del Rey, Lita, Beth Phoenix, Chyna and Athena.
I also love: Bull Nakano, Kharma, Aja Kong, Victoria, Tara, Natalya, Trish Stratus, Melina, Mickie James, Michelle Mccool, Ayako Hamada, Sable, The Fabulous Moolah, Wendy Ritcher, Mae You, Leilani Kai and Sensational Sherry.

Vachon is Luna’s family last name. It worked in her favor because of the legacy that came with the name. Mad Dog Vachon and Vivian Vachon were HUGE names that helped to promote her.

IIt’s nothing against the last name’s legacy. Actually I know Luna is one of the best but it’s just that I don’t like it. For example Kaitlyn’s last name is Bonin. I don’t like it either: “Introducing first, your Divas Champion, Kaitlyn Bonin”…No. Then, Trish isn’t Stratus, is Stratigias, but Stratus sounds a lot better.
Again, it is just a matter of likes, nothing against the proud and legacy of each last name.
at
Why do every hate the name Winter? It fitted her character.
at
Emma, Bayley, Ricki Vaughn (Kaitlyns 1st WWE given name) Wesley Holiday, Cameron, Charlotte,Caylee Turner(Just the Turner part, why not Fox). I wish they would just give some of the Divas that go by their real 1st name their last name like Layla El & Melina Perez.
at
I think kelly’s name suited her charecter as a dumb hot blonde chick. Anyways my favorite list is Roxxi Laveauxe the name sounds hardcore & different .worst is Wesley holiday I don’t even know who that is but it reminds of Wesley snipes. & they should’ve kept davina’s name regulare instead of using Baylee I mean she’s running around with a mask on who would be scared of a girl named Baylee? It’s not mysterious at all but she’ll probably have a different charecter on the main roster anyways.

To me Roxxi Laveauxe sounds like a night club or something. lol I like it, but it suits a place more so than a person.
at
Alicia Fox & Beth Phoenix Are My Faves! But the worst has to be tamina rosita sarita velvet sky
at
One that could probably go on both lists is Molly Holly. That was a cute name and fit perfectly when she was a pigtailed blond girl. Once she turned heel, dyed her hair and became a prude, it was too cutesy to go with her new persona. She became so different (I didn’t recognize her during her first TV appearance after the overhaul) that she should have come up with something new.

Her name was just Molly after the turn, as far as I remember.

It was development diva beverly mullins former name. She then changed it to Courtney taylor a year or two later.

Kaitlyn is so bland. Not even a last name! Audrey Marie, Tara, Rosa Mendes, Tamina, and Brooke Tessmacher are all bad. The best names are Trish Stratus, Lita, Sable, Luna, Sapphire, Sojo Bolt, Ivory, Amazing Kong, Cheerleader Melissa, Chyna and Beth Phoenix are some of my faves.
at
Jessicka Havok is the best wrestling name! Kelly Kelly, Rosie Lottalove, Tara, and Sasha Banks are some of the dumbest names ive ever heard.
