Honestly, it’s really tough finding a name. I have 21 gimmicks in my notes app and 6.5 have names (complicated situation for the .5).
When you say nickname, do you mean as in “Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts,” as in, The Snake? Or do you mean Jake Roberts, as in just a name to match?
All in all, I would honestly start by joking about it, that’s where 90% of the gimmicks I’ve made come from. And that’s not just the name, that’s the character as a whole. So start with puns and work your way up until you find something that sounds good and work with it. ❤️🖤
That seems good advice. Didn’t Foley talk about WWE coming up with Stone Cold’s name and spitballing things like Chilly McFreeze and the like. Just chuck spaghetti at a wall and see what sticks!
I believe he did, and Austin said himself that he received lists of names from WWE and had to go through a couple of different names before he finally heard his wife tell him not to let his tea get “Stone Cold” and when he heard it, he knew that’s what he wanted.
Not everyone needs a nickname. If you want it and force it, then it's gonna be shite. I would let it happen naturally. Get your matches going, your personality will dictate what nickname you earn.
