Stupidest nickname you ever gave to a Pokemon

Looking through my games two gyarados: Stupid and Magikrap
My bros Serperior: SSis.
My friends shiny ursaring: Mr. Shine XD

Yeah, and above post, Mercury was quite a cool name.
 
Octillery: Kalamari
Sawsbuck: Bambi
Deerling: Bambi no. 2
Samurott: Ozzie
Thundurus: Zeus (changed it back to Thundurus)
Lunatone: Lunesta (the sleeping drug)
Majikarp: Beast
Tyrouge: Karate Kid
Hypno (if I had one): Creepy sh*t
Ditto: Hooker (used only for breeding purposes, so why not?)
 
stupidiest name...let me see oh I got some examples:
bidoof:bieber
voltorb:pokebaii, my bad sight I though that the i was a l.
tangela:tangelito
etc.......
 
I tend to name everything I catch, so this would be a long list... I'll give a few of the real gems:
A (male) Oddish that I quickly evolved into a Bellossum for the sake of my Dex before realizing it was male was now named 'Damn'
A Mewtwo named 'Magikarp' (This was done in Gen 1)
A Grumpig named 'BatteringHam'
A Farfetch'd named 'NOTCh'Ding'
A Jynx named 'LadyGaga'
A Ditto (for breeding purposes) named 'LuvMachine'
Also, not sure if this counts, but I once got a shiny Latios off of WiFi named 'Kanye West'.
 
I name so many of my Pokemon stupid things.
One I can remember though is:
In my Pokemon HeartGold, I caught a Butterfree in the Bug Catching Competition, won, and named it WT'Free.

Oh, and can't forget Ottid the Ditto.
 
Given its google images reputation,I called my Gardevoir schlong magnet.

My slugma is called hotsauce,And as for my ditto......I'd best leave that unattended.
 
On my Mystery Dungon: Blue Rescue Team I had, well, a bunch of Pokemon that had weird nicknames.

I named a Lunatone MOON

I named a Weedle Weedle8000

And some other stuff I can't remember. Mostly though I added numbers after the Pokemons name.
 
Once I named my Blitzle "boyfriend" and put it in the Daycare Center

"If you want your boyfriend back, it will cost $100..."
 
When I was younger, I once named my male Nidoran "Horny."

I...didn't know what it meant at the time; I was referring to its horn.
 
I caught a Dewgong with a MB too and then I realized it wasn't a Great Ball Lol.

Anyway, my worst was Definitely AEROFLARE the Shaymin. I must've put no thought in it...

I never nickname my Pokemon. I don't like nicknames. thats why I hate in-game trades. the NPCs you trade with always have Pokemon with the worst nicknames. Like the Rotom in BW named Eek. are you joking? Worse name ever!

That's weird. I traded a rotom in BW to my friend and it's nickname was Eeks. Although my sister came up with the name...
 
When I was a wee lad (no but seriously, like, 8 or so years ago) I caught a Nidoran male, and named it horny, not knowing what that word meant. The next day, I showed my friend, laughter ensued. I was then immediately told what it meant. Embarrassment ensued.
 
Some of my finer nicknames:
  • an Eevee named "It'sagirl" which is the mother of any Eevee I have or will ever trade anyone. Ever.
  • All the generation I pokemon their species backward. Of course, Ekans became "Snake"
  • Gen III starters: "Kipp" the Swampert, "Chick" the Blaziken, "Creek" the Sceptile.
  • Gen V starters: "B-B-Q" the Tepig, "Celery" the Snivy and "Sushi" the Oshawott
 
This nick is not as stupid as the way it came.

I was about to nickname a Zubat I just caught "Ozzy" while I was browsing some forum. Someone mentioned Maria Ozawa, I got distracted and nicknamed my Zubat "Ozawa".

And that's how my meant-to-be-nicknamed-as-a-rockstar Zubat got a porn actress' last name.
 
I have many Pokemon named with stupid nicknames, like my Altaria named "Fluffy" ( XD ), my Empoleon named "Bubbles", and a Snivy named "SNIVANATOR" XD
 
Generally, if I can't think of a good name for a bug 'Mon, I'll just put something down and add "bug" to the end of it.
And so we have Speedbug the Scyther, Pinchbug the Pinsir and Pendrabug the Scolipede.

Also, back in 2008, I had a tendency to name all of my 'Mons in Crystal after various enemies from Doki Doki Panic/Super Mario Bros. 2……which leads us to Mouser the Rattata, Birdo th Pidgey, Wart the Feraligatr, Cobrat the Ekans, Clawgrip the Krabby, Ninji the Sandshrew, and a couple others whose species I forget.
 
Surely I can't be the only person who's named a Bulbasaur 'BULBAPEDIA'.
 
I named a magikarp 'carpi diem'.
