I don't see the need for "Mediocre Guy Hot Wife", as that would lead to even more exaggerations than even "Ugly Guy" got. It opens up a whole can of worms. "Out of My League" sounds like it would just deviate towards UGHW, so it would probably need a new name. The trope as it is is fairly simple and direct- Ugly Guy. Hot Girl. I don't think it needs dozens of sub-tropes- there's already What Does She See in Him?.
