Isn't this the kind of thing that the new-fangled "with" statement is 
supposed to solve?

     def create_db_name(self):
         with  wx.TextEntryDialog(self.frame, 'Enter a database name:',
                                  'Create New Database') as dlg:
            if dlg.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK:
                db_name = dlg.GetValue()
                return db_name
            else:
                return

or something like that.  The problem here is that it looks like dlg is 
expecting to have Destroy() called instead of just being destructed.  
Which, of course, is the problem that RAII is supposed to solve :-)
