Lynch revealed that she came up with several "mad Irish names" that she thought were cool. Real name Rebecca Quin, Lynch said she almost went with Quin Chulainn.
"When I was coming up with my name in WWE, I came up with a bunch of mad Irish names that I thought were cool," she said. "Since my last name is Quin, I tried to get that in there as a first name. Quin Chulainn was one, and that was based off the mythological person from Irish mythology. Cú Chulainn is a badass character in Irish mythology."
Lynch noted that WWE wanted her to use a ring name that was associated with her real name.
"They wanted a name associated with my own name, like Rebecca," she said. "So I became Becky, and two of the names that came back to me were Becky Lynch and something like Madeleine. I was like, 'I didn't even submit that, I don't know how it got in there.' It made me think of that TV show Madeleine. Anyway, I said no to that, and the other name that came back was Robin Daly. I actually did like that, but I thought it would be better to have a part of my own name in there, so Becky Lynch it was."
