The Witch-King of Angmar and Khamûl are the only Ringwraiths given anything similar to names.

The Witch-King ruled Angmar as a wraith, and Khamûl was an Easterling.

We're told of nothing about their lives prior to being wraiths.

That is not completely true. There is quite a bit of background about the Witch King Of Angmar in The Silmarillion (mostly about the many wars he made in the north against the Dunedain of Arnor). I suggest you read that if you wish to find out more about him.

The battles the Witch-King is involved in are after he has become a wraith. His name wasn't "Witch-King" when he was alive.

There is little or nothing on the Witchkings background in the Sil. He was said to be, along with two other Nazgul's a High lord of Numenor. I remember reading that he MAY have been one of the Numenorean king's brothers, thogh it was proably just speculation.
