Clever Pokémon Nicknames

Solosis: Abortion

Woah boy.

I can't seem to find my ds so I can't look up the nicknames of my older pokemon but here's the ones from White.

Purrloin(F): Ebony (It just sounded like a good name)
Patrat(F): Coona (cause it looks like a raccoon to me lol)
Snivy(M): Draco (this pokemon's attitude just reminds me so much of Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter so I had to name him this)
Lillipup(F): Scarlet (I have a puppy that looks almost exactly like Lillipups so I named the pokemon after my puppy)
Audino(M): Iacchus (I just liked the name it sounded neat)
 
Got a new one!
Named my Smeargle Banksy after the famous street artist (the one who annonymously made the movie "Exit through the Gift Shop).
 
I usually give names after my comic characters or characters from other video games I love (Strider 2, Cyberbots, The King of Fighters, Koei Warriors mainly Dynasty Warriors, bla) and give rivals/Pokemon I don't names after characters I dislike

List
Blaziken-Mori
Mightyena-Pike
Beautifly-Cecile
Zigzagoon-Sophia
Aron-Henri
Vigoroth-Tim
Ninjask-
Swellow-Craig
Whismur-Pat
Shroomish-EmoMcDork
Cascoon-Adelheid
Lotad-Joe
Ninjask-Pete
Marill-Amber
Geodude- D*ck (Real name not meant to be an offensive nickname)
 
Zoroark: Nick
When it appears, you think it's a Liberal Democrat, but when it gets attacked...it's a conservative! It was a Japanese game, so I couldn't fit "Nick Clegg"

Jellicent: Raine
Raine 'cos it sounds like Rain (gurdurr!), but Raine also sounds like Reign, and Jellicent is a royal jellyfish.

Beheeyem: Seren
Means "Star" in Welsh, and Beheeyem is from space. Also, it's a lady name, and my BEM is a lady.

Vaporeon: Sir Ruffly.
Ruffled Collar ftw.

Sawk: Foot Glove
Need I explain?

Sigilyph: Asda Lines.
'Cos it sounds like Nasca Lines, and Asda is cheap (have you battled one in-game? T_T).

Stoutland: ActionHank
Hell Yeah.

Usually, I give my Pokemon human names, such as:
Kingdra: Gregory
Leavanny: Geoffrey
Cresselia: Debby
Haxorus: Kate
Alomomola: Paula

References:
Groudon: Muffy (Remember GoldenEye?)
Mamoswine: Wilford (=3)
Hydreigon: Clamp (Clamps wouldn't fit).

Oh and just for fun:

Kyogre: Party Boat
Giratina: Muffin
Emboar: Dores (I got my JP White at Uni, and I had just eaten a Walls sausage roll...walls...doors...>>)
 
My latest team is all named after fictional characters:

Zoroark - Indiana (Jones; was originally going to be "Covenant", as in "Zoroark of the...", then "Raider" as in "...of the Lost Zoroark")
Scolipede - Strika (Vehicon general from Beast Machines/Decepticon team leader from Transformers Animated)
Archeops - Tigerhawk (Maximal Fuzor from Beast Wars)
Hydreigon - She-Ra (Princess of Power)
Boldore - Rosie (the Big Daddy variety from Bioshock, or from the AC/DC song "Whole Lotta Rosie"; take your pick)
Golurk - Alphonse (Elric, from Fullmetal Alchemist)
 
I just managed to capture the Musketeer trio...
Virizion - Legolas
Terrakion - Gimli
Cobalion - Aragorn
If I'm able to rename a Keldeo, it'll be named Frodo.
(Guess what book I'm reading now...)
 
I always like to name my Female Seakings, Seaqueen just because it sounds more appropriate.

I also do that with Female Kingdras, Queendra.
 
I tend to give nicks to all of my pokemon.
Here are some:
Reshiram-Porn star(because of the pointy thingy between its legs)
Galvantula-Zephyr
Bidoof-Castor (Castor fiber is latin for European beaver)
Luxray-El Adrea (Arabian for a black lion)
Milotic-Baudelaire
Mismagius-Miss
Flareon-Dante
Dragonite-Rodion
Ditto-Lady Gaga (it`s obvious)
 
Wow, nice to see my thread is still going strong after four years.
My often changing White team:
Hydreigon F - Chrysanthe
Haxorus M - Ma Ro Kahn
Excadrill F - Iphigene
Bouffalant M - Girugamesh
Emboar M - Odysseus
Vanilluxe F - VanillaIce (ha ha.)
 
My White Team, as evidenced by my signature is:
Kaa the Serperior (named after the Disney snake)
Echo the Swoobat (bat echolocation)
Torrent the Simipour (named after the Water ability)
Torch the Simisear (wanted to keep it alliterately similar to Torrent's, since they're somewhat related)
Missy the Emolga (just wanted to choose a cute name as it was a girl)
Croco the Krookodile (doesn't need much of an explanation. XD)
 
Samurott - Shelwrath (kind of obvious)
Cobalion - My Horse (as in "Look at My Horse! My Horse is amazing!")
 
I named my Snivy, now Serperior, "Dickhedrok." I can't remember all the names I gave out in that game, but Reshiram became "Sherammedm" (not enough room for the E), a Golduck became "Boobieduck" (it was female), and that blue karate fucker became "Baldfawkes." Oh, and my Victini now goes by Onizuka. :p

Medusa the Serperior (Medusa from Soul Eater was also a inspiration)
Tsubaki the Samurott (meaning ''Camellia'', which is asscoiated with Swords, also - Soul Eater Character)
Moonless the Zoroark (Mugetsu from xxxHolic)
Lumina the Chandelure (Lumina-Luz-Light, Luminaria - Chandelier, there's also a city on the game ''Legend of Mana'' which is amusingly shaped like Chandelure)
Drakonis the Haxorus (Giant Crimson Dragon from above game)
Skyknight the Braviary (...)

Emma the Emolga (Emolga)
Layla the Audino
