Clever Pokémon Nicknames

[Berrenta]

Bred a Heavy Metal Aron. Since it was female, I named her Ferrera. Ferr- is a prefix for iron, based on the Latin word ferrum.

 

[Pokémon Spectrum]

Zangoose: Logan (Wolverine's civilian identity)
Clefairy: Titania (Queen of the fairies in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream)
Sableye: Gemini (Because it has gems for eyes, get it?)
Magmortar: Firearm
Snorlax: Gourmet
Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion: Backfire
Trevenant: Groot or Treebeard

 

[Alola]

Kilala or Kirara for Fennekin! ^-^

 

[Tyrfing]

Not sure if it counts because it wasn't mine, but I saw an Oshawott named Seliph with the OT named Sigurd. (Free cookies to those that get the reference)

But on the subject of my names, it isn't named yet, but I plan to get a Sceptile and name it Sicarius.

Mah Fiah Emblum senses ah tinglin.

I have a a Flygon named Lanayru and a Mismagius named Circe. =D

 

[Lysson]

Yveltal I named him Yami. Due to the final boss is Okami and the culture behind Yami. (Yveltal has finger like things on his wings and tail, looks like hands. And due to the culture behind Yami it is said that humans use their hands to DESTROY everything. Pretty fitting huh? Yami is also red and black like Yveltal)

I have many other cool nicknames but I'm proud of this one the most

 

[KatTayle]

I've always named my Charizard Atem (after the Yugioh character) and my Vaporeon Millennium. Also I used to always name Tentacool bad words because I was stuck without a surfing or cutting Pokemon so I had to go back 4 towns to catch a Tentacool and it was a pain to get.

 

[Almonds]

Jigglypuff: Moon Angel. She has those large innocent eyes, and evolves using the moon stone. She's also round. XD

Sharpedo: Matsuoka Rin. A character from Free! that's based on a shark. Now, if only he hatched as a shiny...

Empoleon: Caesar. Eh, obvious much XD

Aggron: Silver Boss. I hatched a flawless male Aron so he's the boss.

 

[Marro1]

I named my Fennekin Fenrir. Named him after the Harry Potter character.

 

[GeekyGamerZack]

I've just started a new playthrough of Pokémon SoulSilver, and a naming pattern has emerged for many of my Pokémon. Here are some examples:

Cyndaquil - I named him "Tyson", which is an abbreviation of Typhlosion.
Mareep - I named him "Marco" because the first three letters are an anagram of "ram".
Wooper - I named him "Gilbert" because he has gills (come to think of it that name won't make sense when he evolves).
Pidgey - I named her "Ava" because she's a bird.
Oddish - I named her "Rosie" because both of her possible second-stage evolutions have a link to flowers.

Can you see the pattern yet? All their names can be used as human names! A few of the Pokémon I've caught have simple names that aren't common in humans, but for the most part the pattern has stuck.

 

[Stratelier]

I'm thinking I need to nickname some of the Pokemon from my Colosseum save file.

Umbreon - Ebony
Espeon - Ivory
Entei - (take a wild guess)

 

[Master Mew]

My Trevenant:

Spoiler

Mourningwood

*runs*

 

[Reeceysfaeces]

I was sad because i wanted to name my chimchar "chimchardashian" but there was not enough space. :/

 

[Gard81]

Noivern -Boom Boxer
Aegislash - Black Steel (makes sense if it's shiny)

 

[Resk]

well my kangaskhan is called genghis khan but i doubt that is original

 

[RTA fan]

Solrock: Solaris (it's a Sonic character that is a god of the sun)

 

[King Fissamé]

A great name for Sylveon will be Penelope, after the Sylveon girl from the latest English Dub Episode

 

[LavenderTownGhost]

I named my Ampharos "Andromeda". I love that name.

I named my Gardevoir "Estranja" after Laganja Estranja the drag queen. Love her.

 

[Silverwynde]

I named my female Bisharp Lyuze, after a character from Casshern Sins. My female Sylveon is named Serena (as in Sailor Moon, not the PC) and my female Magician Fennekin is named Sophita, after a minor character from Casshern Sins.

My Golurk is the only one who has gotten an original name: Riser came from a story I was writing. The character Riser was a robot whose model was known as an Iron Fist. When I saw that Golurk looked like a robot and could have Iron Fist as an Ability, I knew what I was going to call the big guy.

 

[Osprey]

I named a Riolu "Anakin" because I'd recieved its egg on May the 4th (Star Wars day). Then there's Asphodel the Giritina, named after one of the parts of the Greek underworld. ATV the Bibarel, because that Pokemon is literally an all-terrain vehicle with its HM's.
