Talking to Wrestling Inside The Ropes, Liv Morgan revealed how her WWE ring name was born.
It happened at the Performance Center before a TV taping and she had to pick very quickly, despite not initially liking Morgan: “The real background is that you know when you arrive to the Performance Center. When it’s time to create your character you send in a list of names, right? I must have sent in three different lists of names. I thought, ‘Oh, my names are so terrible.’ All the names that I picked, they thought it was so bad. So literally I show up to TV one day at Full Sail for NXT taping and they pulled me aside and they were like, ‘Alright, you’re either Liv Morgan or you’re ‘Liv Gallows. I was like, I guess I pick ‘Liv Morgan.’ I always liked the name Liv I didn’t really like Morgan, you know, but I grew to love it. I grew to love it all.”
She then explained that the Liv name made several catchphrases possible: “I found so many little puns to use Liv for and little fun little things I can use so. SmackDown Liv, You Only Liv Once, Liv is live, watch me Liv. I mean, I can go on.”
