In an interview with Kate Mackz, WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Charlotte Flair discussed various topics, including her initial idea to pitch Elizabeth Reid as her ring name.
This is what Charlotte Flair said, “I pitched a few names. I pitched Elizabeth Reid. I loved Miss Elizabeth and then my little brother’s name was Reid. They were like, ‘No, your dad’s from Charlotte. We’re naming you Charlotte.'”
On going with Charlotte Flair over Ashley Flair:
“I could have gone by Ashley Flair. Probably, being Ric’s kid, it was like, ‘We’re gonna give her a stage name, like, not to be Ashley Flair. When I first started, I wasn’t Charlotte Flair. I was just Charlotte. They didn’t attach my last name until, like, four or five years later.”
