This is actually pretty hysterical to think about. It was funny listening to Rollins talk about trying to keep Tyler Black and how he just wanted to change the spelling and WWE just wasn't having it. Every guy has said how ridiculous the name process is and how terrible most of the options are when they see them. Ziggler obviously has an awesome real name versus the one they gave him, so I just don't get why they don't figure out a work around in certain cases. Believe it or not, Dolph Ziggler came up with the name Dolph Ziggler. Apparently Dolph is his grandfather's name, and Ziggler is a name one of his buddies came up with that he thought sounded cool. Didn't know that, that's pretty cool. I still think his real name is way better than that name though.

Actually he wanted to keep his real name, but they weren't having it. They called him and said this is what your new name is, forgot what their name for him was, but basically said " if you have any better ideas tell us within 15 minutes because that's when it's final." Ziggler mass texted everybody on his phone and Dolph Ziggler was the best he could come up with in 15 minutes. Eventually it grew on him because it just became his name and he was used to it. WWE's guidelines was that it had to be a double d name, but they let that slide.

Huh...Could have sworn I heard that he got it from his grandfather and friend on a recent podcast...maybe it was someone else

He still didn't particularly care for the name in general. It was just much better than WWE's original name.

When you have a name like Jacob Novak, Chad Baxter, Dino Carter, Sawyer Fulton, Tucker Knight, Cal Bishop, you probably wont make it to the main roster, no matter how talented you are.

So you're talking about the old NXT and not the current NXT product, that the OP was discussing, where they have good names.

I see them staying the same, but with Batista they drop Dave to make him sound tougher.

A few of those names I listed are still in NXT Strange since I watch NXT every single week and have never seen any of them. They might be there, but as jobbers. IN the end, NXT guys, that are meant to go places, don't have bad names.

He still didn't particularly care for the name in general. It was just much better than WWE's original name. He was saying a few years ago he chose it because he was a Dolph Lundgren fan.
