Names of the Ringwraiths
Niphredil

I do believe that Khamul (also known as the Black Easterling) is the only one of the Nazgul that Tolkien actually named in his works. You can find names for the other Ringwraiths on various websites but these were not created by Tolkien but rather invented for role playing games. The invented names are: Murazor (Lord of the Nazgul), Dwar, Ji Indur, Akhorahil, Hoarmurath, Adunaphel, Ren and Uvatha. These names have been circulated widely due to the popularity of the games.
