I need a nickname for my Toxicroak(F), Mismagius(M) & Feraligatr (M). I'm hoping for something inspired by a trait based on these pokemons' appearance. Like a wizard's name for Mismagius (Not from Harry Potter please). Thank you!! ^,^

How about Tiana for your Toxicroak? From ''Princess and the Frog
Zauberer for your Mismagius? roughly means sorcerer in german
Leviathan for your Feraligatr? big watery beast
 
I'd like a nickname for my soon-to-be-level-100 Volcarona. Male, but I accept feminine names as well since it is such a beautiful Pokemon.

Also, a nicknsme for my female Beheeyem please?

Helios/Apollo for Volcarona, or if you like a female name, how about Amaterasu/Corona/Blaise?

Female Beheeyem could go with Callisto/Jupiter/Galaxia/Estella/Astrid/Venus IMO.

I like the Leviathan & Zauberer. Thanks!
I kind of want an assassin-ish name for my Toxicroak though.

How about Stiletto? Or Venenosa (female form of ''poisonous'' in Brazilian Portuguese)
 
I need help naming my Lanturn. It's male, rash natured, and capable of taking hits, and has Volt Absorb. I usually don't have such a hard time naming my 'mon.

How about Lumen? That's latin for "glow." If you don't like that, then I don't really have any other ideas, sorry. :/

I need some names for a Togekiss, Bibarel, Girafarig, and Porygon-Z for a Normal-type monotype team. I'd like gender-neutral names, please, or otherwise give me names of both genders.
 
@Quaggington; and @GatoRage; Thanks for the ideas. Lumen sounds good, yet so does Tesla...

I'll just merge the two together. :p

As for your mon, Quag... Zephyr (associated with winds) for Togekiss, and either Escher or Python (programming languages) for Porygon-Z are what I can think of right now.

Why thank you. Always willing to help. :)

Zephyr sounds great for Togekiss! And I think Escher could really work for Porygon-Z, too. Thanks for your contributions!
 
Okay, I am not sure if this the entirely wrong thread for this but I have a tough one.

I have recently started a new game in X and plan to run through the game with only Type-Moon named Pokemon.
(For those who don't know, Type-Moon is the parent company of certain anime such as Tsukihime, Fate/Stay Night, and Fate/Zero.

My character's name is Arcueid (Tsukihime), and my starter is a Frokie named Shiki(also Tsuki, dem glasses ;)). I know when I get Mewtwo I am naming it NrvnqsrChaos(They seem to both have the same attitude to me. XD).

Other than these three, I have run out of ideas. :( I know that there might not be many Type-Moon fans in Pokemon, but I would absolutely LOVE anyone who can think of other Pokemon who could fit any T-M character name.

Edit: My apologies, Fate/Extra is a PSP game. I corrected it. :p

I named mine Smaug after the dragon from The Hobbit. Alternatively, name it after one of the named dragons from Skyrim :p
I was thinking Smaug, too! :eek:... Would work 100x better if he was shiny though. Imagine that.

Haven't played skyrim surprisingly enough but I'll check out some of the names. Thanks bro.
 
I'm doing a run of Y in which I'm naming my Pokémon after DC superheroes. It's a Nuzlocke, and I just caught a male Bunnelby. Any ideas?
 
I need a nickname for my Salamance. It has been on my team for a very long time now and I still have no idea how the nickname it.
